# Features
* Detects Apple \]\[, \]\[+, //e, //e+, //c, //c+
* Pretty-print model instead of generic `II` (bloats the code slightly but worth it.)
* Detects 48K/64K/128K
* System information in all uppercase (for Apple \]\[ without lowercase)
* Cleaned up fugly logo by Albert Lai
* Logo is now 70 chars wide
* Logo is bit packed 2 bits/char; expands 70 chars * 4 px = 280 px
* Logo takes up 70\*12\*2/8 = 210 bytes compared to 79*12 = 948 bytes
* X is now symmetrical
* Fixed L,i,n kerning
* Fixed x Penguin kerning
* Fixed L to fit
* Chopped off 2 columns of penguin to fit 70 chars
* Red 'i' is now a beautiful blue to break up the monotomy of all orange

See: [ascii2hgr2bit.c](ascii2hgr2bit.c) for packing ASCII to 2 bits/char.
NOTE: PackedLen isn't needed if full 40 bytes HGR width is unpacked to.
