Like, just about any Sun workstation.

More importantly, it takes away plenty of Freeciv tiles!
Only in 8 bits can I run the 2000x1500 resolution that is convenient

*shudder*  For a moment I thought you were considering another split,
besides having two clients.  If the clients split nothing much will be
lost, or will it?
