Hi, up until recently I did not pay as much attention to this group
as I might have but then up till now I really did not have a
reason.

My opthamologist has told me that I am slowly loosing my visual
acuity and ability to resolve small differences i.e. characters!

He has suggested that to reduce the strain on my eyes that I move
from my current platform (Zenith AT using CGA on a mono monitor) to
as large a monitor as possible with as much resolution as possible
and color.  Don't you wish you had a doctor like this.:-)

Unfortunately, the rather unscientific testing that I have done has
led me to the unmistakable conclusion that things don't get better
until I get into the 1024 by 768 range or better.

Does anyone know of a monitor/card combination that would give me
at least 1024 by 768 in color (16 will do but 256 is better) for
the IBM DOS world.  I run mostly regular DOS type software like
Lotus products, WordPerfect, etc.  I also run Windows/286 and
Ventura.  The only other program ;that is somewhat special is
CADKEY 3.

Please send email if you have any info.

Kevin
