To the  person  needing  a  larger  Mac screen, assuming that you 
can't afford the  around  $4000  for  a Limelight projector (which 
works GREAT for group  presentations!), I saw a fresnel lens that 
sits in front of the  Mac screen and seems to double the apparent 
size.  It's probably available in computer stores in your area.

A friend of mine bought just such a lens, because it was very inexpensive.
I found it useless, and he agreed, but he & I are both rather picky about
display quality (that's why we use the Mac!).  It might be useful for a
partially-sighted person, however.
