Rick, you're not asking for too much, and that's what's so frustrating to me. Don't forget that the OS is limited to an 8-bit-plane display, and there would have to be some serious changes to fix that without having every game on the market break. Plus, any mode that changes the video signal (like a 1280×1024 display) would make it almost impossible to allow screen dragging. And possibly even frontback gadgets would be disabled, or else the monitor would have to sync to a new signal for each screen. I just hope the very things that make the Amiga the great computer it is don't become the limitations that hold it back. Of course, the biggest limitation until now has been Commodore, and they seem to be moving in the right direction.
