For Example : IMHO 1K by 768 is wasted on anything less than a 20" monitor like the Mitsubishi Diamond Scan I view as a write this missive. Said monitor costs $2000. Monochrome monitors are of course much cheaper. So before you DEMAND tons-of-pixels at a pounds-of-pixels price ( only Amiga ! ), temper your demands with the realization of what you'll need to effectively utilize such a copious bounty. And remember, Commodore is not primarily a monitor manufacture, nor a major player in that business. Infer what you will ... -- -- Dennis O'Connor, uunet!srg!titania!doconnor non-representative.
