Are literally using a magnifying glass? How about using the built in
zoom function of OS X? It may take some getting used to it, but I have
found it valuable.
I'm using Panther, so here are my instructions:
Go to System Preferences->Universal Access->Seeing->Turn On Zoom
In this window you will see the key commands for zooming in and out. I
have my 15-inch PowerBook set to its native resolution of 1280 X 854.
Also, in Safari's prefs you can set a default text size that will work
for most websites.

I already run my 17" monitor at 832x624, and often hit "make text
bigger" in Safari.
Installing OS X and apps was problematic. Kept running into dialogs
that displayed off the bottom of the screen; couldn't reach the
buttons! And sometimes, it forced the monitor to 1024x768 - so I had
to use a magnifying glass.
There are apps and system pref panes that are very difficult to use --
they have dialogs with controls that end up below the bottom edge of
the screen. And since you cannot move a window up, in OS X...
Frustrating.
Never had this problem with OS 9.
