If you've had a PAL setup for a reasonable length of time, you'll start
wishing for NTSC again, unless you use text mode exclusively. The PAL
color picture is shaky - not too obviously at first, but really
bothering after a long time. And no matter how well you adjust that pot,
whenever you move your eyes you'll see moire patterns moving up and down
the screen on all vertical edges.

I've converted my two Apples to NTSC and am much happier with the
picture now. Luckily, around here (Germany) even small TV sets are
mostly multi-norm these days.
