- Yes, all the Macs use a non-interlaced display.

- Interlacing is a dumb idea anyway, designed by a guy who wanted
- to find a cheap way to increase the horizontal resolution.

- an older Amiga, one that could only produce a ???x480 screen by
- interlacing. The "racing stripes" at the top of Mac windows flickered
