Sorry - I should have snipped out another line there - I was only perplexed
by the 1280x1024 size, which, as you point out is 4:5 where all the other
"normal" screensizes are good old-fashioned 4:3 Academy ratio. I don't
understand why someone introduced another aspect ratio, and why 1280x960
(also 4:3, and a useful intermediate between 1024x768 and 1600x1200) is
rarely seen.
