        In reply to Jeff La Coss' message concerning the
resolutions of various displays, I would like to clarify a
misunderstanding that he had.  He claims that a BBN BitGraph is
comparable to a D0 with a display resolution of about 80
dots/inch.  In fact, the BitGraph resolution is almost identical
to that of the PERQ and the Symbolics machine at around 100
points/inch.  The BitGraph I am typing this on has a usable
display area of 7.75"x10.75" and is 768 points x 1024 points,
yielding a resolution of 99 points/inch horizontally and
95 points/inch vertically.
