???? Why would you use Productivity on the 3k? I have used it occasionally,
but it only lets me use (in effect) about 64 colors, i.e. 4 shades of red,
4 of blue, et. al... And, of course, I can get perfectly flicker free output,
with no flicker-fixer, off the '3k, because the flicker-fixer is *built* *in*.
So, what are you seeing in productivity that I'm not?

Also, what do you mean by 'vga'? I've never seen a vga set up, but I remember
being told they had lots of colors - which productivity doesn't, so far as I
can tell.

Same to you.
