Guess you are right. ... I was thinking of the fact that late 90s I
had a CRT monitor that was 800 by 600 pixels. (And I think a 15"
screen). Now I have a couple of flat screens, including one on the
laptop - which is a 1400 pixel screen - and a 12.1" screen. To me,
that seems a massive change (especially as I don't see my computer
being that much faster ... it might be more powerful, but the software
on it is so much more clogging!)
