Take a piece of cardboard bigger that your monitor
screen, cut a rectangular hole, 4" wide by 3" high
in it. Put the cardboard over your screen. The part
of your screen that you can see is the viewport. To
see everything on your swcreen you must move the
viewport around. I've tried to illustrate this
below, hope it's understandable.
ASCII art, I hope this comes out ok, if not, you
may have to open it in an ascii text editor.
your virtual screen, say 1600x1200
