- That is not what has been said around these newsgroups. If I had a dime
- for every person who has posted about the problems with screens not being
- centered correctly on the A4000, I'd buy a workstation. The A4000 seems to
- have exactly the same problems as any other Amiga without a flicker fixer:
- when you setup the monitor to center certain modes, other modes go off-center,
- often by quite a lot. The advantage of a flicker-fixer is that it boosts
- all non-30nS 15Khz modes so that all can be centered properly. You just do
- not have centering problems on the A3000.
