The above sceen resolutions requires 4 megabytes of *fast* memory.  Do you
really think you are going to get this at a cheap price in the next couple
of years?  Plus when the resolutions are so high the graphics are really
going to slow down, more memory means more work to change an image.  I
really think that High Definition TV should be the next milestone for 
home computers.  That has a chance of being really nice performance for a
reasonable price.   Besides who really needs that much resolution for
home use?  Sure it would be nice, but needed for a great machine, I just
don't think so.
