Double modes certainly can have 4 lines of text.  It just isn't as easy to
get the text you want into them, which may clobber needed storage.

You should note that with those lines of text, the resolution height
reduces by 8 in low-res (x40 vs. x32) and by 32 (x192 vs. x160) in
high-res.

It is spelled "Beatles", like beats in music.

I'm surprised Macs are allowed to use their CD ROM drives as CD players in
light of that lawsuit (though apparently not directly -- the CD ROM in my
PMac 7500/100 does not have a headphone jack nor volume knob on the
circuit board).
