I'd like to echo that. The Sun IPCs that I use at uni (which I am logged
onto right now via modem (Maestro 2400ZXR) and JrComm) are 16" beasts
with resolution of 1152x900 and I can just distinguish individual pixels
but no more. I get the impression that 1024x768 on a 20" monitor would
look just a little 'grainy'. I prefer to look at the stuff on the screen
and not be noticing the jaggies on it (or scan lines for that matter).
That's I suppose why the Mac originally (512x342 res) came with a 9"
screen - so that you'd think that it was real hires even though it wasn't
really anything special (yes there was also the 72dpi screen to printer 
thingy).

si ya, Murray
