It is small, isn't it? But it's very sharp, even on 80x24 text, so it's
easy to read if you sit about 6" away from the screen. Makes me want to
get a Fresnel lens on a swing arm, a la Brazil :-)

Heh.
I remember being able to read text on the O-1 in 104-column mode after I'd
installed a screen-pac upgrade. I doubt I could do it these days, though.
Yes, those monitors were *very* sharp! :-)
