Michael, About a year ago, before I had written 1 line of code for AutoPilot, I stated my intentions that it would be 2.0 only. I got a lot of flak over that. I also got a lot of flak on another forum when I said, about 4 years ago, that within 12 months (of that time) that 2400 baud modems would be the standard (I'll say the same now about 9600). Times change. Hardware changes. Within 12 months a hires display will be the standard (if it isn't already). Why did I go with hires/interlace only? Because I needed the visual space and refused to go with a some sort of scrolling lores screen. That's just the way it is. The program may or may not be what you want — only you can decide that.
