I think hardly anyone has a flickerFixer yet, but I do have a                  
Mitsubishi Diamond-Scan monitor which looks a lot better than my               
1080, did and it cost me $475.  Thats about $200 more than I would have         
paid for a 'standard' Amiga monitor, and now I have a state-of-the-art         
monitor.  I will probably get the flickerFixer for another                 
$500, but I suspect that if I wait, I could probably get something             
similar much cheaper.  Maybe $700 total for beautiful interlaced screens,
and the ability to hook up to all the latest video cards on other computers
for just $400 more than a 'standard' monitor.       
                                                                               
Maybe you should add this to the form letter:
Don't buy a multi-tasking computer unless you have a real need for one,
meaning that you are going to be running a multi-user system.

Maybe you should follow your own (albeit quoted) advice.
