The Pixel is a measurement system that was created specifically and solely to help create designs on that glowing screen in front of you. Your 21st century sketch pad.

Asking "how many pixels are enough?" is like the old argument about horsepower vs. engine performance. Lets talk about ETAOIN SHRDLU.
