That's misleading.  Your home color TV set interlaces at the same rate
as a IIGS monitor (using, for example, Apple's Video Overlay Card in
400-line mode), and it doesn't flicker.  It depends on the phosphor
persistence.  Actually, the only time I see appreciable flicker on my
Apple RGB monitor in interlaced operation is when there is a single-
pixel horizontal line.  Most images look fine.
