	For those who intend to connect the Second Sight to their existing
AppleColor RGB monitors, would that 640x400 (interlaced) be in 256 or 
32,768 colors on screen at once?

	I assume "scanline doubling" eliminates the visable scanlines
that are often noticable on the GS, correct? (ie - those very thin black 
lines you see inbetween 80 columns text and most graphic modes on the GS). 
One question though...will this have the side-effect of "blocky" pixels
in the 320x200 modes? Anyone who's worked with IBMs knows what I'm talking
about, those very corse and square looking pixels in MCGA (320x200x256)
graphic displays. As 320x200 is *STILL* an essential resolution mode for
doing quick animation in games (and demos), I hope we won't get the MCGA 
blockiness side-effect passed down from the IBM to the IIGS. :-)
