I really want a 640 by 400 non-interlaced display, especially for fancy fonts 
and word processing like the Mac.  Then, if you wanted to be NTSC-compatible,
just turn on the interlace.  As things stand now, the Amiga is marginally
usable for WYSIWYG and desktop publishing.  If bandwidth is the problem, I'd
be happy with just one bit plane, but let's have HIGH RESOLUTION TEXT WITHOUT
THE JITTERS!
