Ergotron LX Desk Mount LCD Arm
This is a very
useful bit of kit. It allows the monitor to be moved to almost any
position,
so if one member of the family is visually impaired they can move the
monitor forward in order to see it better, while the rest of the family
can return it to its normal position.
This device allows the monitor to be moved up, down, forward, backward and
moved between portrait and landscape modes.
This product is robust
and well made, assembly is quite simple, but adjustments of the settings
can take some time -
"well it did me".
It is not cheap at around £85, but I consider it well worth the money.
This device is available for many sites on the web, but shopping around, I
found the best value was.

called "Video magnifiers". These devices look like a normal computer
mouse, but connect o your TV. Or P.C. depending on the model, and
magnify the image the mouse is passed over.
Example
Each of the

"Colour" format.

A very useful service
This is a service I
use myself. Because of my eye problems, I find it almost
impossible to use the "SMS" (text) facility,
on my mobile phone. Sometimes I do want to send a text message,
and using this service I can now send the message from my P.C.
This can be done in two ways.
Method 1: You download a bit of software from the site and use this as
a stand alone program to
send the text message.
Method 2: This uses your normal Email client, Outlook Express ,
Outlook, or whatever. This is the method I use, as I have customized
Outlook to give me the colours I can see best.
The text message costs 10p per message, credits have to be purchased
in advance and the service works to most parts of the world.
