That's fine for the current system but what happens when the A3000 and later machines come out (assuming there WILL be more machines)? They are likely to have screen dimensions other that 640x400 and 640x200 Probobly better to have an optional aspect ratio in the icon. If the ratio matches, fine. Display as is. If not, this info would be usefull for whatever algorithm is used to alter it.
