- But one main advantage of the Screen-Concept of the Amiga is, that if
- you want to run your imaging-application in 24Bit you don't have to
- run your word-processor, your file-manager, your desktop... in 24Bit
- too and so creating overhead. You can specify for every application
- individually what screen-size and depth they should use and don't have
- to reconfigure and reboot your system whenever you think that Word is
- to slow in the 24Bit you needed for Photoshop...
