I think it's a big, big problem. It's the brick wall that we can't get
through. Sure, we have NTSC video – but that's admittedly low res. If you
want to run all these great Amiga programs, you can't do it in any other
resolution. Hedley monitor aside for the moment – that's not true display
independence. We need resolution-independent Intuition. Today, it's all
based on pixels, which vary in size and shape. Intuition on the Lowell
board? I'd love to see it. But without a standard way of writing programs
that access add-on display boards, I think it will be hard to convince
companies to write proprietary code to drive it.
