- Screen flicker was solved by Commodore in 1990, and is now the best
- buy in this newsgroup, the A3000. Trouble was, the A3000 cost that
- much when it appeared ($3000) and people stuck with their A2000s.
- This is of course a purely emotional attachment.

- If you wouldn't mind living underneath transmission lines, high-power
- microwave relay stations, etc., then live with a 30Hz display like
- that. Adjust the colors, wear sunglasses, etc. Or just chuck it
- and get the A3000 with a standard VGA monitor (a side effect that
- will also save a bundle).
