Funny.  I got frustrated trying to read 80x24 text on a 9" monitor 
and went to a 12" (An old Four-Phase job) when I saw the O1 
prototype.  I turned to Richard Frank and told him that it'd never 
sell because of the tiny screen.

Shows what I know.  Heck, I can barely read a 17" screen nowadays...

Cheers,
Chuck
