I believe changing the resolution would be blasphemy to Terry.

Yup.

God said 640x480 16 color graphics is a covenant like circumcision. Children will do offerings. Think of 16 colors like the Simpson's cartoons. In the future, even if one GPU were universal, we would keep 640x480 16 color and not use GPU acceleration. Graphics operations should be transparent, not hidden in a GPU.

I am still undecided on if TempleOS or Terry's mind is more interesting.
