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.
