[DUG] Delphi 7 on a Netbook

I remember developing in 800x600 or so in Delphi 3. Going to 1024x768
was a big upgrade ;-)
I use to record my videos in 800x600, with a largish font - that's a bit
painful in a modern IDE. I've just restarted making videos and have
settled on 1280x720 (720p) which is supported on YouTube.
