Oooookay. I like, no, I love getting asked questions at my presentations. But one of the most asked questions isn't usually on the subject that I am just presenting, but about a nifty utility that I use to zoom in on source code to make it more visible.
It's called ZoomIt, it was written by the honored Mark Russinovich from Sysinternals and it's a free 44kb download from the Microsoft.com site.
It allows you to zoom in on any part of the screen (so it's not bound to an application) around the mouse cursor by the simple press of a key and to mark areas of the screen with a [enter your favorite color here] pen.
Simply put - a must have for presentations in my oppinion.
