So is the GS Finder desktop 640x200?  I nearly broke out in a cold
sweat when I read this and I had to find the GSOS disk.  Well, I'm
still happy to report that it's working for me.  I've updated the
picasa album with 3 more pictures from the Finder desktop.  I also
found a disk labeled Slide.3200.Vol#3, and ShowAll 3200 SmallPic,
which I vaguely recall as the palette switching 3200 color pics.  They
also displayed via the Ambery on the Acer 24" LCD.

I'll be happy to take more pictures this weekend, with better lighting
and steadier hands:
