I was looking through my system settings and found out I can set my resolution to 1600x1200! So, I do, and Wow-wee, I shoulda done that a loooooooong time ago! Now I can see entire websites at once, run huge wallpapers at native resolution, and work with graphics files at 100%, and still have room for tool palettes.

Sweet. Now all I need is a 256mb graphics card so I can crank FS up like this!

Nobody ended up doing it, and it so happened that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

lol, you didn't know this?

At least newer versions of windows allow you to reset the resolution without restarting windows....

I remember spending hours trying to find the right one with windows 3.X lots of fun...

Well I knew you could change it but I didn't know it went THAT high! Of course now I've gotta tweak a few settings, it kinda makes my eyes hurt like I've got everything set now....
