- Yes, it is nice. I have (notice I didn't say run!) a 1280x1024 x 16.7
- video card in my machine and a 21" Taxan monitor. It's very nice and I
- don't really mind the extremely large fonts when I have to run (yes
- run!) Os/2 in 640x480 x 16 mode. :-) It'd sure be nice to get a driver
- that woiuld kick this video card into 1280x1024 mode but I guess I have
- to wait for my video card company to do a driver (unless there's some
- net guru of video display devices that's aching to do a lot of work for
- free :::---)))
