- I get shimmering periodically. Some one suggested EMI. I believe

- and the shimmering get worse when it's on.

- My personal opinions is that the 1960 is way over priced and I
- would not have bought it except you need the 15khz sync on an
- Amiga. I hope Commodore or a third party does something about
- this real soon, especially with the A1200 coming out. Could you
- imagine people spending $700 for a A1200 and another $600 for
- the piece-of-junk 1960?
