(Gee, so much to comment on today)

Concerning discussion of 'illegal' video modes. 

I do not object to these sorts of cheats in order to create better 
pictures. I feel that these modes are indeed limited insofar that using 
up processor time prevents much of their use in 'normal' programs. But 
for those who need enhanced capability, such as those animators who can 
record single-frame, the new modes are a boon. This does not make the 
normal modes obsolete, it just creates a new category for a specialized 
need.
