Reminds me of the system that I got at a graphics design job for a
financial services company, before they started weaning themselves off
3270-type terminals to PCs: 19" monitor with 640x480 16 colours. I
switched it up to 800x600 16 colours (it was a high end, quarter of a
meg graphics card) and four years later went to 1024x768 16 colours when
I brought in my half meg card from my home machine after putting a
*whole* meg video card.

And they wondered why I recommended a four meg card when the system was
finally replaced after seven years...
