  So much for assumptions, eh Thad?  If you'd had used JR-Comm you'd have
known that it wasn't a derivitive of COMM.  Names ain't everything, at least
in my book...

  No, I've been here for a while now, guess you're as guilty as I am for not
seeing each others previous posts before. ;-)

  The disturbing thing me is that you seem quite ready to criticize something
you've not even given a cursory glance at, yet expect me (or anyone else) to
live and die with every article you've posted in c.s.a.

  The ability to display 660 pixels is not the point, the fact that each 
character would only contain 4 pixels of information is.  It's just not 
practical on an Amiga to have 132 character lines.

  No, I've got more important things to do with my life.  But, thanks for
looking out for me...
