LCD displays have only one true resolution, whatever the actual number of pixels are. Some LCD screens have settings for additional sizes but they either interpolate the pixels which looks bad or simply reduce the screen area used. Thousands of colors is the most you can get out of a stock machine before the G3 series. According to the Apple Spec database the 190 only has 16 or 256 colors depending on model. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
