Zoom for presentations

Sysinternals: what’s not to love?!

I was setting up for a demo today and noticed the client’s projector was too close to the screen and the overall result was a hard-to-read display. The Windows screen magnifier (whatever it’s called) doesn’t really cut it so on a whim I hit Google and came up with ZoomIt.

129KB later and no installer I can hit CTRL+1 and this thing zooms in to my mouse; wiggle my mouse around and the zoom follows. Esc to zoom out again.

Simple. Beautiful. Perfect.
