Yes, Google. ;@P Thanks.

360x270 wouldn't be possible with VGA.

4:3 pixel aspect ratios of mode X-like VGA modes

    256×256: 1.0     (Stretched)

    320×200: 1.6     (Mode 13h - slightly squished)
    320×224: 1.428.. (Imperceptibly squished) 
    320×240: 1.333.. (Square)
    320×350: 0.914.. (Stretched)
    320×400: 0.8     (Stretched)
    320×480: 0.666.. (Extremely stretched)

    360×200: 1.8     (Very squished) 
    360×240: 1.5     (Imperceptibly squished except when drawing circles)
    (360×270 is impossible)
    360×350: 1.029.. (Slightly stretched)
    360×400: 0.9     (Stretched)
    360×480: 0.75    (Extremely stretched)

    400×300: 1.333.. (Square)

360x240 and 360x480 are both real modes.

But it was 320x240 that had the square pixels.
