100% agreed. It was a feature I relied on constantly in Apollo. Also swiping left/right on the button area at the bottom of screen did the same thing, which was super useful when using the phone one-handed.

Owned a //c that was all mine, a birthday gift IIRC. I remember that it had a composite output so you could plug it into a TV to play games on a bigger screen that actually had colour. Loved that thing, including the monochrome (green) monitor that neatly sat on top of it. I would spend hours typing in programs from magazines.
