   "Higher resolution" than was built in.  Low resolution compared to what's   
   available today.   
      
   I dragged home a 3GHz computer on Sunday, and it "only" has 512megs of RAM   
   in it, and then I grumbled as a chunk of that was used for the built in   
   video interface, that is much more advanced than what was in the Radio   
   Shack computers (the fact that it uses a "big chunk" of RAM is an   
   indicator of that).  The best permanent storage I had up to late 1993 was   
   720K of disk space on a 3.5" floppy on my CoCo III.  Of course, that   
   computer had 512K of RAM, after I upgraded it.  It's a near infinite   
   increase in computing specs, in 20 years.
