Ah, yes, nothing like the plumbing of the old Apple II. We have a 40-column text screen
where after line 1, comes not line 2, but line NINE! There's some nice plumbing. And let
us not forget about the wonderful screen holes. (leaks in the plumbing?) We have a
280x192 hires screen that is the equivalent of eight 40-column screens back to back. We
have different color values depending on what column the color is. We have an 80-column 
text where all even columns are in one bank and the odd columns are in the other!
