Sorry, don't know if I replied to the wrong thread maybe, or maybe something got edited? I swear there was something there that had me thinking 80 column editing was the driver...matching the Mac's resolution. The Kaypro and the Mac used roughly the same monochrome CRT, in the same size. You can even swap them if you make the right cross connects.

Ahh, yes, the parent of your post..."The memory resources must have been tight, because the original Mac had like a 512x342 pixel display, not even enough to display a full page width of text."

Don’t worry about it, everyone’s following a different part of these threads.

My thought was, “Why didn’t the Mac have color?” and I was comparing it to color systems that had similar or better resolution than the Mac… and I think that’s only EGA, and maybe some workstations I don’t know about.
