I wonder if they may have settled on VGA instead of super VGA is because
those of us that are using speech really don't need a monitor except when
we need some help, especially like those of us that have no sighted people
in our family. I baught the cheapest monitor that I could get, since I
always keep it turned off, and only have it for when I need some sighted
help. So I hope that we don't have to change monitors any time soon.
