You can put me down for a yes. I asked because I have a PC laptop that only
has an 800x600 screen, but it will do 1024 if you connect to an external
monitor. I also have an iBook which does 1024x768 and I use this more
often, I've just been too lazy to try to build an OSX version of the alphas
using the CVS code. Maybe it's time I did this.
