Very few monitors in use today (for web-browsing) can accommodate 1024 x 
768 as a native mode.  This is a well-known statistic among 
web-developers.  I didn't say Elecraft shouldn't support this mode.  
But, obviously, I should have just said 1366x768 would be the next most 
important mode and leave it at that.  I don't think its a reasonable 
statement to say any particular monitor type is more likely to be in use 
by hams.  You're just making an assumption not based on any particular 
data.  Industry data says 1024x768 is not used much anymore.  I don't 
think hams are very far out of the mainstream.  End of discussion.
