Hi Louie,
The magnification feature built into OSX is called "Zoom." You can turn Zoom on
in System Preferences / Universal Access, or use the following key combinations:
To toggle Zoom on and off, press Command + Option + 8
To zoom in, press Command + Option + =
To zoom out, press Command + Option + -
For contrast options, you can also toggle the screen between what Apple calls
"White on Black" and "Black on White" by pressing Command + Option + Control +
8.
Note that all of these can be used in conjunction with VoiceOver on the Mac,
while on the i-devices you are currently limited to using either VO or Zoom,
not both together unfortunately.
HTH,
Bryan
