Mac's have Interlaced video also. The video runs at 90Mhz so you don't notice
the flicker, but its interlaced none the less. The 90Hhz video is one reason
the Mac is hard to use for video, the Amiga video runs at standard NTSC rates.

BTW I have a Mac at work and any software that I've run on a real Mac runs 
just fine on the AMAX I have at home. No offense but I've heard its not hard
to emulate a Mac on the Amiga but it would be nearly impossible to emulate an
Amiga on the Mac.
