I saw an ad for this unit in a magazine and thought "Probably got *crummy*
display resolution."  Then I got a brochure in the mail.  The standard unit
is equipped with 640x480 monochrome LCD (ho hum) but options include
1100x900 monochrome and color (hmmmm...).  Sounds *really* good on paper,
but I'd sure like to see it...
