For instance , I set my parents up on their mac so they each have an account. it was much easier to do things like set up individual email accounts for them then. One thing a lot of people I know do is install all the third party apps they run in their home directory (they create a directory there called Applications). that way if you need to reinstall you just back up your home directory and you don't lose anything. - In the safari options you can set your default font and size, try bumping it up a point or two. hope that helps! - command-option and click on the desktop (or on the finder icon in the dock) to hide all apps.
