	Nope, I don't want a 2024 'cause I already got a 1950 that displayed
	864x624 when attached to a 386 running Herr Roell's PD X server
	for 386 UNIX and a SVGA card at work... B^(. It ain't the monitor's
	fault...

	Anyways, the end result is I'll keep many spiders busy till C=
	decides that it's safe to let the A2410 out into the hands of
	us peasants. B^(.

	Someone suggested a PAL tweek to get 512 lines, I'll probably
	go with that for now.

	I assumed there was a way to get a $6K+ Amiga to do something a
	$200.00 card on an IBM can do. I was unfortunately wrong. B^(.

	So, WHEN is the A2410 going to be released? I suppose when AmigaDOS
	2.x can support it...
