Is this true?
Current (substantiated) rumors say that the GS+ will have a 640X400 4 color
and 320X400 16 color mode.  According to the GS+ guinea pigs, these modes
are heavy on flicker, so they are probably interlaced.  Anyway, does the current
Apple analog RGB monitor support interlacing with the extra lines?
Then again, I can't think of a use of these modes except to brag about your
computer and view pretty pictures (witness the Amiga's interlaced modes), so maybe 
none of the new software will use these modes.
