I can't resist! So who has a display that can show 16 million colors
simultaneously? I mean here at the lab we have a 2048 by 2048 display
and certainly I would not want to look at 4 different million colors
at once! Much too confusing! The highest resolution color display I
have seen is a 4k by 3k LCD projection system by GreyHawk... Of course
it can be argued that having a graphic coprocessor that can do 16
million colors simultaneously one might not want to display them...

Then again if someone does have such a display, I'd like to hear from
them.

My one wish for the next NeXT add ons would have to include a video
digitizer.  NeXT made a machine that is neither deaf nor dumb, but is
blind!
