	You CAN paint in real-time on HAM-E. The x400 mode
flickers. You CAN use intuition to render gadgets with HAM-E.
	Marc, please, explain something to me. You bring up valid
points (often). Your points about the lack of standardized
high-res Amiga graphics are valid. But you post the SAME THING at
least 3 times a day!
	We all here realize that it is a problem. I don't think
there is ANYONE here who still believes that the Amiga's chip set
and graphics cards are at an acceptable level. I consider myself
to be IN AGREEMENT with much of what you say (or at least have
said recently). But it is so incredibly annoying that you post it
continuously that you lose all credibility.
