A friend (my roommate) is considering purchasing an Amiga 500.  He
played with our next door neighboor's Amiga 1000 and didn't like the
flickering screen in high resolution. Question:  how do the high
resolution modes on the Amiga 500/2000 fair ?  Is there a problem with
flickering due to 50Hz refresh.  Does this problem go away if you use
non-interlaced graphics ? Basically I'm lookking for complete (as
possible) information on Amiga graphics modes (HAM etc.) and what they
look like.
