(At least, that's the interpretation I put on the article with its accompanying picture.) You can't have a full- screen window showing your TV program; the best you can do is a small window, probably about 128 x 128 pixels. Too bad... just when I thought I'd be able to use my II as a TV... If anyone knows any differently, please let me know! I'd like to buy it if it were actually useful as a TV, rather than just a small hack. (I mean, who wants to really watch a 5" TV?) >Mark Interrante Software Engineering Research Center >mfi@beach.cis.ufl.edu CIS Department, University of Florida 32611 Rob Jellinghaus (robertj@CS.Yale.EDU; only at M-soft for the summer)
