  22. Open  a 24 bit screen in super hires resolution.  Keep a backup copy of it,
  23. and add the copper changes into the visible screen.  After 1/50 virtual sec
  24. restore the backup.
  25.  
  26. Of course you'd have to trigger a videocam to take the picture every
  27. virtual frame and watch it from the VCR to experience motion.
