One of the nicest things I picked up was a tool used by Duncan Mills (Oracle), called ZoomIt. It is a tool that will allow you to quickly enlarge the portion of the screen where the cursor currently is located by using a shortcut key. It is fairly lightweight tool that is easily installed.

• zoom in (and out again)
• allow you to draw lines, circles, rectangles etc. to emphasize elements and areas on your page
• allow you to type on the screen

Some examples:

Now press the hot key (CTRL+1 by default)

and the page is zoomed into. Next I type t to enter type mode:

and finally try drawing mode (CTRL+2):
