If C= ever had a machine that didn't flicker at all, we'd stop
complaining.  I have a friend who manned a Amiga stand at a local
computer show with a Amiga 2500/30 and an Amiga 2000.  They were showing
the picture of the astronaunt (which barely flickers at all), and every
one who saw it said 'hey that flickers!'.  It didn't look good compared
to the 386 svga in the other booth.  Even the 3000 flickers on a Nec 3d!
AND PEOPLE DO NOTICE IT!!!!  People are not impressed when you tell them
'oh, you can buy this card to fix it up', or run in 640*200... 

BTW, they didn't have a 2320 on it because they have to be imported from
the US, as C= won't sell them here.
