Toy computer?  That is something you have to do for any composite monitor.
It is very helpful when playing in analog land (NTSC) also.

On monitors with a low dot pitch, you need wide vertical lines to improve
your ability to distinguish the line.  Yes, I am saving up for a nice Sony.

Artistry is the problem at hand.  Creativity is not all that predominant
in controlled societies :-).  The icons for the "Jay Miner Pics" are very
pleasing (mountains with clouds).  Scanners and DpaintI/II/? can perhaps
be used through the clipboard, although I must admit to be in the dark as
to how (sorry, *please* no non-instructive flames).
