|Try 1/4: 320X200 = 64,000 pixels,  160X100 = 16,000 pixels.

	Actually the term "resolution" is another kind of
	measurement, i.e. picture elements per linear dimension,
	such as "lines/millimeter", or "pixels/inch".

	One of the reasons the Mac looked so good when it
	came out is that the resolution was quite high for
	the time in comparison to other displays in its market
	niche. I suspect that the resolution of the Lynx
	will be favorable due to the small display size,
	offsetting the small number of pixels in terms of
	perceived display quality.
