I'll be reviewing the video-cheesebox soon, which for £65 will allow you to
get PAL stuff on a VGA/SVGA monitor, so Gods on it is just a press away...
no need for scandoublers/flicker-fixers. And 2nd hand 15" monitors are
pretty cheap (£40 at most) which will give you 800x600 resolution, which is
a world away from AGA 640x480.
