Well Blaine, since you mentioned the PS390 (in an Amiga discusion 
group! Shame on you :-) I can't resist mentioning that it displays roughly
8Kx8k on that little 1kx1k monitor. I've been waiting for someone to mention 
how to do this. It is called anti-aliasing. It takes quite a bit of memory,
and is a bit compute intensive, but it sure makes nice pictures. It might be
possible to do crude anti-aliasing on an Amiga.

Good night Blaine.
