Last week, you downloaded and installed the most wicked software application ever. When you went to the publisher's website, you were wowed by the killer logo, the flashy interface, and the amazing free trial version. Click, click, click! It's on your hard drive, installed and rocking out.

Two days later, the emails started coming in from your friends and family. They want to know why you've signed them up for this electronic newsletter that they've all received, plus they're thanking you for paying for their new Jelly of the Month club memberships.

Uh oh.

You go back to the publisher's site, and there - right underneath the big, shiny button that says 'Download Free Now! Now! Now!' is some darn small print. You squint real hard, and put your face right up to the monitor. What you had thought was, and disregarded as standard end user license legalese was actually brimming with conditions. The first condition grants the publisher a right to access your contacts list. And the Jelly of the Month club? That's in there, too.

If only you had seen what you were agreeing to, before you implicitly agreed to it. Well, my friend, step into my Time Machine, watch your step, and before you hit the switch, take this copy of Magnifying Glass Pro with you.

Magnifying Glass Pro is a virtual magnifying glass for your desktop, giving you the ability to enlarge any text or graphic image that is displayed on your computer in real time. Just pass your cursor over any portion of the screen to view it in SUPER LARGE SIZE in a magnification window.

I see you sitting there, just short of impressed, stroking your goatee and saying to yourself, "But how is Magnifying Glass Pro different from other so-called 'magnification' apps out there?" As if being able to view things in SUPER LARGE SIZE wasn't good enough. Well, check this out.

Not only are you able to view any portion of your computer display in SUPER LARGE SIZE, but you can apply effects to the magnified area in real time. Want to change contrast? Do it. Want to add special effects? Do it. Want to smooth it out? Go crazy!

The magnifying window can also be fixed, so it doesn't follow underneath your cursor. Lock a Magnifying Glass Pro window in one spot, so as you scroll, whatever scrolls beneath it gets BIGGER. And, when you get it just the way you like it, save your settings to different profiles, or associate different settings with different software applications so that you can easily invoke Magnifying Glass Pro at any time.

Finally, with Magnifying Glass Pro you can make your magnification window as large as you want. I know, up till now you've been thinking in terms of squares and rectangles. What about half the screen? What about the entire screen? Let me blow your mind - how about a magnification window so large that it extends past the edges of your first monitor and onto a second monitor? Yeah, that's big, alright.

Declare victory in the war against fine print. Check out Magnifying Glass Pro.
