I now know how the amiga workbench should look. If you have ever
quietly felt that the Amiga *looks* too much like a toy despite
its very serious functionality then take heart. For a mere CDN$1600
(roughly US$1100) you have to consider the Microways deinterlacer.

I  had  the   opportunity  to  use  a  A2000   with  a  Mitshbishi
"multisync"  (what   is  the   generic  term?)  monitor   and  the
deinterlacer.  With  DropCloth,  DropShadow,  and  MoreRows,  this
setup is, bar none,  *the* most impressive micro-computer display.
I can  compare this to  Apollos and  colour MACIIs and  colour Sun
workstations  since  this is  part  of  the suite  of  over-priced
machinery I use at work.

Interlaced workbench was thoroughly readable and the perceived depth
is very convincing.

It is for products like these that we must applaud C-A's foresight
in adapting the much criticized NTSC standard. These changes are
completely compatible with anything you could throw at you Amiga.

I hope to see this technology succeed commercially so that
everybody can take advantage it.
