- Well, as long as you use 640x256 GadTools is bearable, because every app was
- written with 640x256 in mind. As soon as you go to 640x512 orso things start
- to get ugly (ie, squashed window-gadgets, thick vertical lines, etcetera...)

- Look at the proof, Windows. If people just bought computers to run programs
- then they could still be using ms DOS. It runs programs quite happily and at
- quite low overhead too.
-
- I know we don't NEED a nice GUI as in 'we need it to survive' (although Amiga
- might need it to survive), but having a nice GUI and nice icons which use more
- than just 4 colors is still a big plus which would make people happier with the
- machine.
