Hi Ray,
In Windows xp, you can adjust the font to a humungus size.
I don't know how to do it, but I think it's in the accessibility, in control pannel.

Subject: [VICUG-L] Using Computer with Large Screen TV as Monitor
Date: Tue, 6 May 2008 16:15:25 -0500

Hello All:

One of my clients who has a 92-year-old mom told me the computer is her
mom's world.  However, even with the computer and 22-inch monitor her
mom has, the screen is not large enough.  We were wondering if there is
a way to connect a computer to a larger screen, such as a large screen
TV to get more screen size for reading?  I did suggest looking at screen
readers as well.  These folks are in the Atlanta area so I did encourage
them to take a look for places in that area where they could see various
pieces of adaptive technology.  I am just wondering if anyone has other
suggestions to help this lady.

Thanks,
