High resolution, such as 1280x1024 and higher has been around for 20 years.
The reason it wasn't prevalent in low end consumer computers (as it was
prevalent in Sun, SGI, DEC and other high end workstations) had nothing to
do with unavailability. PCs weren't ready, hardware wise, application wise,
and use wise (OS and applications) for the "general public" to have any need
for high resolution. There was also a cost issue.
