Well, again, if this video was a quickie thing to satisfy investors, 
ok, I'll believe it. But if this video was a serious attempt to show 
off that machine to the general purchasing public, then if they didn't 
know how to sync it, they surely should have known that the info is out 
there in the Amiga community. Heck, if I was making a video to show off 
ANY computer product, I would make sure the screen was plainly visible 
without flickering like that one did, and if I didn't know how to do 
that (and I don't exactly) I would darn well find out, or find somebody 
that did.

I mean, if you were going to take a Ferrari on a test drive, and the 
salesman told you "The tires are supposed to have 50psi of air in them, 
but they only have 15psi, so the car you get will handle better than 
this one" wouldn't you say "let's stop at a gas station, and fill the 
tires!" Just like when Radio Shack was pushing their satellite 
internet, and the ones in the stores were dog slow, I mean if you're 
going to demo something, the demo should be as good as the current 
product! Just my thoughts on the matter.
