Or you have the first line of video hidden behind the bezel of the
display.

Ok, now adjust the monitor so that there IS a black border on the top
and bottom of the picture. Display a light colored background. Now do
you see the first 1/2 line of video flickering?

As I've said in an earlier posting, this is only a problem if you like
to have the display adjusted with black borders around the video, so
you can use the entire active video area. If you prefer to have the
active video reach from edge to edge and top to bottom, you'll never see
the problem. It's a matter of taste, I prefer to use every pixel I can
get my greedy little hands on.  :-)

Umm, if you don't buy a tape drive, what are you going to do backups to?
Floppies are just too painful for drives over a hundred megabytes!
