Well, watching a (known) video buffer allows you to magically bring the screen
back to life when you get new output from the computer, as well as when you
press a key.  I can see that whether this extra 'feature' is useful or
desirable depends on how you use the machine, and for what.  Still, it *is*
an extra capability that simply sitting on the palette and watching for
keypresses won't cover.
