So - do we all sit around for a few years twiddling out thumbs or
wait in queues to get at those lovely bitmapped screens that are slowly
appearing in large enough numbers around us. I can't wait until
these grotty 24 line things dissappear - its really a case of what
can I do with what I've got TODAY ! Anyway, writing a windowing
system has taught me quiet a bit about 4.2 that I wouldn't
normally be exposed to - so I'm happy all the same.
