Regarding the whining about anti aliasing not working....

[Skoshi Tiger]

In the past when I was using AA I had to reduce my resolution in order to improve my dot visiblity to a useable level.

Now that I've disabled my AA setting I can actually see the dots at the full native resolution of my monitor (1680x 1050).

My understanding of AA is that it works by blending the colours found in adjacent pixels (by a variety of methods). This is bad for seeing fine detail in the images.

Cheers!
