You know, this has been debated in the Apple2 arena ever since the
computer was designed. Many people vehemently deny that the Apple can
display more than 280 pixels, but I have seen software which proves
differently. In fact, in the old Nibble there was a program which could
draw very fine lines and circles based upon this.

Which brings up the argument of how many colors can the Apple display
in hi-res mode?
