Mmm - odd response to my question, Jim.

Are you living in some parallel universe whereby the words you read on
your screen are the words written by a parallel-universe version of me,
and due to some weird space-time warp, the messages are swapping over to
the wrong reality?

Rowland.

No, I'm just ignoring your insults and trying to answer your questions.

If you want an argument, fine. If you want an answer to your question, fine.

Make up your mind.

No it wasn't. You didn't mention coverflow, so a number of us checked
and found that the display was excellent. It was only when you mentioned
coverflow, some way in, that it became clear what you meant.

That is becasue I fail to understand how you can not understand.

You claim that the displayed resolution of the displayed image in
coverflow is _always much less than the the resolution of the original
image_ .
I want to know how you cannot understand that if your original image is
300x300 pixels and you were displaying it at (say) 500 x 500 pixels you
beleive it could be true.

That doesn't surprise me.

I am saying that it is irrelevent that you have not seen any exceptions
as to whether something happens or not.
And in this case, anyone who could apply any sort of thought to the
subject would realise that what you claim (that it is always lower
resolution) cannot be true.
