- Well... I hope Atari realises that Apple is about to drop the 16bit path
- Macs... (I heard the LC-III is coming out... and it is supposed to be
- a IIci in a LC-II case). Well... then... I am not sure about the Color Classic.

- Actually, most people (software developers, at least) consider 640x480x256
- as "Super VGA." (regular VGA as we all know only goes up to 640x480x16 or
- 320x200x256). Most games that support "SVGA" usually go up to 640x480x256.
