It does help to get more memory cartridges (at ~$500 for 128K!). The real solution, though, is to get the upgrade to the LN03+. After doing that, you graphics can be as complex as you want (there are still problems with the basic LN03 even with two RAM cartridges). Further, you get full 300 dpi, tek-compatible (almost) graphics. -- Jonathan Corbet {hao | nbires}!gaia!jon
