I'm debating selling my Video Overlay Card, but before I do so I'd like
to get your opinions.  Do you think we'll ever see the IIgs 640x400
mode used for anything other than slide-show programs and the like?  In
other words, will the toolbox ever be moved and patched to really make
use of it?  Thanks!

The 640x400 mode is an interlaced mode using two display buffers.

Interlaced mode creates a lot of small-area flicker, meaning that it
will make you crazy if you try to read text in interlaced mode.

The IIgs is what it is.
