If you've updated to OS 10.4.8, check out the Mouse preference panel. By default, if your mouse has a scroll wheel or track ball, by holding down the Option key you can use the scroll wheel to zoom in. Preference panel gives you the option to use a different trigger key. Check it out. Very neat.

Also works on portables with two-finger scrolling - hold the Option key and scroll to zoom.

For some reason my MBP is defaulting to CTRL key to make this work with the trackpad. Nonetheless, very neat and I will have immediate use for this in my demonstrations and podcast.

The reason is that I'm a moron - that is the default key (at least on my system) not Option. You can set it to whatever in the System Preferences/Keyboard and Mouse/Mouse tab.

In all fairness, I goofed first. I typed Option and meant Control. One of my astrology buff friends said something about Mercury being retrograde. Ah well, forty lashes with a wet lasagna.
