It's amazing how many people insist that a flicker fixer costs so much, and that flicker is such a problem. I use interlace modes all the time for all of my work on my a500, and I have a flicker fixer that is really cheap. It cost about $250, and came with a free RGB monitor! There is a special advanced high-tech space-age circuit redirection system built into my monitor, which many of you probably have. It is called CONTRAST. How does it work? Turn the little knob on the monitor that says 'contrast' under it (mine is between the 'brightness' and the 'color' knobs). And watch the flicker disappear! Cheap and easy! Works with TV sets, too! "But now I can't see the screen as well," said the Amiga user. "Dim the lights in the room," responded the flicker-fixer. > > >-- >Colin Adams >Computer Science Department James Cook University >Internet : cpca@marlin.jcu.edu.au North Queensland >'And on the eight day, God created Manchester' -- David Tiberio SUNY Stony Brook 2-3481 AMIGA DDD-MEN Tomas Arce Any students from SUNY Oswego?
