  From  The  Free  On-line  Dictionary  of  Computing  (13  Mar  01)  [foldoc]: 
 
  zoom 
 
    To  show  a  smaller  area  of  an  {image}  at  a  higher 
  magnification  ("zoom  in")  or  a  larger  area  at  a  lower 
  magnification  ("zoom  out"),  as  though  using  a  zoom  lense  on  a 
  camera. 
 
  Unlike  in  an  optical  system,  zooming  in  on  a  computer  {image} 
  does  not  necessarily  increase  the  amount  of  detail  displayed 
  since  this  is  limited  by  what  is  actually  stored  in  the  image. 
  Similarly,  you  cannot  zoom  out  beyond  the  full  size  of  the 
  image.
