	The video output is not inherently interlace.

	There was a huge discussion of this on the net a while back the
general points being:

	-On a normal monitor, the lower the brightness, the less the flicker

	-I have found a dark (almost black) green background with a 
	 white-blue forground best.  But even so, I went back to using
	 a non-interlace workbench to save my eyes from long term strain.

	If you want to get rid of the flicker entirely, you have to by a
	long-persistance phosphor monitor, which can get expensive.
