Well, you need to remember cost.  I favor a 640x400 (or a little more
if you use MOREROWS) display, with a "superbitmap" window, so I can
get 1k x 1k (or 2k x 2k even) and keep the cost down.

Alas, I can say no more, except something exciting is happening, and
the biggest complaint against the Amiga may soon become moot.  Of course
people can still complain about no MMU, right?

PS I don't have any connection with any company or product that you may
have inferred that I was talking about here, OK?  Ssshhhh...
