The BOX would cost less than $500, but the new monitor you'd need to view
640 X 400 directly would cost more than that...  I'm strongly in favor of
keeping the NTSC compatibility at whatever cost.  Long persistance monitors
do the job just fine, and being able to videotape the images (something which
isn't really possible with any other micro system as they stand) is a real
advantage.  Of course, when they come out with the Amiga that can handle
1K X 1K images, I'd be willing to give up compatibility - anyone for high-
res TV?
