The LC has the same resolution screen as the 9" screens...512x342.  The pixels
are just larger on the bigger screen.  Now that's not the way to get a
"sharper" image.  But is IS the way to fool the customer into thinking
he's getting more for his $$.

Even macoids I've heard critizize the LC as the FATBITS display.  (For Amigans
who wouldn't know, the FEW mac paint programs that actually support
magnification call it FATBITS, because the pixels become huge square blocks
on the screen).
