You lucky devil. Back home in UK, the most I ever got was a 21" SCART
connection. No surround sound though. Sheesh.

Hmm, I dont know any way of getting the mouse pointr into a higher
resolution, as it would certainly come in handy every now and then.

All the AGA extensions I have seen lately, just load an AGA screen and
display it. I dont think there is one extension which will allow you to do
much with an AGA screen, other than maybe load screens/banks, as the sprite
and bob banks wont hold AGA images (unless it patches them too).
