Well since I used a 0x0 resulution display (emacspeak) for continued
lengths of time for years, perhaps I am not a good referance point,
but I do use an M1 for extended lengths of time.  I use 50x17 or 50x26
most of the time.  80x15 if I need the 80 char. width to check
formating or use a program that requires it.

The 50x modes are clean and comfortable to use for extended periods of
time.  

Would I like a display with higher res.?  Sure.  Is the qvga a
workable, affordable, solution, Yes.

I really like the sturdness of the M1, it is a bit combersome though.
I use it on a strap only, no wire going over my head.  There are times
I forgo it in favar of audio only that I might not with a
microOptical, don't know.  I think with the 'in glasses' display, I
would just leave it on.

Can someone with a microOptical comment on usable text resolutions?
Has anyone created SVGATextMode modes for it?  I would be happy to do
that if someone wanted to get me a microOptical display to play
with :-)  Or will the M1 modes work?

Greg
