- Hmm...I'am also very interested in the Retina card for my A3000 :-))
- But i might be mistaking, but does'nt Workbench Emulation mean that you
- can use the retina's resolutions and colours as the Workbench resolution
- and for programs???
- IMHO i dont think that you need a second monitor to use the Retina..
- You just cannot use the very sexy resolutions on your programs...Like
- running a DTP program in 1280x1024 NONLACE with 256 colours :-))
-
- As i mentioned...i might be mistaking, but i hope hope someone can tell
- me the correct answer...I really hope i'm right :-))
