They have accidentally activated CloseView, a control panel designed to
magnify the screen for people with vision problems.

To deactivate it, type Command-Option-O (hold the command key, that's the
cloverleaf, apple key, the option key, and the letter O all at the same
time).

To permanantly disable it, remove the CloseView icon from the Control
Panels folder and reboot the Mac.
