[different OSes] Now I work at 1024x768@85Hz (CRT 17"), and my hardware can do more. I got this hardware only in 2004... It's still many users who can work only at 800x600 in 14"-15".

Many programmers can do this, but after his work we get many incompatible GUI's, as result we got manu programs, may be good but uses different gui library... I see this in Linux. I have three variant of any program (mean gui program): one for KDE, one for Gnome and one which not use this library... (maybe i mistake somewhere?) -- http://rs-rlab.narod.ru mailto:rs_rlab@mail.ru
