- I don't want to agree there. The interlaced modes without extra hardware
- (ie flickerfixers and such) used 30 and 25 Hz (in PAL and NTSC
- respectively). Granted that (almost) noone used these modes for
- productivity software, they didn't do at all that bad when showing
- low contrast stuff, like HAM pictures.
- This is, of course, assuming that the new mode would be interlaced.
- Without interlace, I'd have to agree with you.
