looking at the moniter through a maginifying glass, i see thousand , or even millions of dots...are you saying that each dot has a grid marking like on a map or are they signitured by clumps...there are sure a bunch of dots..

Each dot is a PIXEL. ..... they are kind of large on most monitors, about 72 per inch.

However while the window is displayed on the screen, the window is a mathematical construct existing in memory. The relationship between a window and the display can be very complex. computers do lots of matrix transformations to translate what is in memory to the display and to determine where something is being displayed. (One of the reasons they named that movie about computers Matrix.)

That is close enough for government work, but then again saying it was Black Magic would probably be good for government work. ....

Imagine the CIA hired and paid lots of money to so-called Psychics to try and get information from the Russians. They kept doing it even though it NEVER WORKED!!!!!
