[ gulp! ]

	As a new poster to this newsgroup, I'm getting somewhat puzzled
by all this "discussion" on why interlace mode on the Amiga does/doesn't
suck rocks.

	Why don't you all just face it:  We all have different eyes and
perceive flicker (or lack thereof) to different degrees.  Yes, 640 x 400
on the Amiga flickers, but depending on who you are, you may not care.

	Personally, I say, "ICK!" to myself when I first turn on interlace
mode, but then after a few minutes, my eyes glaze over and I hardly
notice it.  This is just me though.  J. Random User may not think so (and
by the discussion going on here, it's obvious that everybody doesn't
agree).

	Personally, I like to think of 640 x 400 as being reserved for
"CAD only" type applications.  You know, the kind of application that
absolutely requires the highest resolution available.

	People also seem to complain about the character set being just
this side of unreadable.  Again, this is subjective, and when it becomes
possible to change the system font, it will become a moot point.

	Why don't we all just agree to differ on this point and move
on to more interesting things (like the Boing Wars :-)?
