Re: [Nolug] Computer_hardware_poster -- A really neat image collageof hardware past and present

My point was, that the original image, at 1280x1813, is far too small
to print a poster from. Assuming an average DPI setting of 300dpi,
that image would be good enough to print a 4"x6" card. Hardly a
poster. Which is why I was asking if there is a higher resolution
version. Bart posted a link to the full res version, which is much
better at 4320x6120. At 300dpi, this will get you a 14"x20" print.
Still hardly a poster, but it might qualify as a mini-poster. Bring
the DPI down to 150, which sucks for print, and you can stretch it to
about 28"x40", which is a decent poster, it will just look grainy.
The only saving grace might be if you use an inkjet so the colors run
together. And there's no way you can read all that text down in the
CPU socket area of the 1280x1813 file, the detail just isn't there.
That would be like trying to convince me that the graphics of a 2600
game look realistic.
