Probably more futile than rude. I'd love to use higher color levels and
resolution but can't; my video capabilities are limited due to my computer.
I have only three slots and they are taken up with scanner, modem and sound
card, so no vid card space.

For those out there who could change their settings, rather than just
recommend, you'd have to instruct them on how to do so. Those who know
probably already have.

But you know, it's possible to set the resolution, etc., at a setting that
won't work for the computer. It will accept the setting, and then show
garbage on screen. When this happens the user has to load into DOS and
manually mess around with config stuff. I'd hesitate to try to explain this
in a text file or remotely.

What I'm saying is that although it's true that 16 or 24 bit color and
higher resolutions are certainly an improvement over 256 colors, your
recommendation, should you choose to make it, should also be accompanied
with encouragement to have a qualified or at least experienced computer
geek on hand.

Sure, I know how simple it is to go into the control panel and change the
setting.

It's just that simple things can sometimes be complex.

Have a good one,
