> I quite like the fact that my own digital scope just puts linear sections between samples. It makes it obvious that I'm zoomed in to the limit of the data, and that I shouldn't go making assumptions about what's inbetween those few points. Dot mode does this too, but the display isn't so clear.

OK, no use for anyone who is colour-blind, but no reason firmware 
couldn't be configured to show data points in a different colour from 
calculated points. Just like on a "real" graph.

My ancient HP 1741A, however, only comes in slightly fuzzy green ;-)
