agreed - I always have done something similar with my Sony Picturebook
C1X which apparently has finally bitten the dust.
The thing that I found though is that if you can only get 800 pixels
across, I might just go with an 800x600 virtual so that the only slide
was vertical because going virtual in both the X and Y axis might prove
unnerving and would be more awkward to get accustomed to.
