- Perhaps, but the standard speeds for movies and video has generally been
- what can be gotten away with, not how much we can appreciate. I've done
- anims on my PC at 72 fps, and on my Retina card on my Amiga at 90 fps
- double-buffered (on a 90 Hz 200*150 screen with MakeRace), and the
- results were *far* better than what you normally get at 30 fps.

- A lot of times you don't know the limitations of a medium until you see
- something better. If you've been listening to $200 stereo systems all
- your life, a $500 system might sound great, but listen to a $2000 system
- for a couple days, and the 200 and the 500 are going to have a lot in
- common all of a sudden.
