To my knowledge a Flicker Fixer costs around $400-$500 dollars.  Right now it
is not worth the money, I feel because for that amount of money one can buy an 
Amiga monitor and solve any incompatibility problems.  I have heard that C= is
planning to come out with a new graphic standard thus throwing out the old 
Amiga monitor.  Hopefully it will come out with a standard that will support
VGA monitors.  It was said that it was planned to be introduced sometime late
'88 or early '89.  Wait until summer is what I say.  :-)
