Temptation? You haven't SEEN the bursar.
Neither have I to be honest...

Quality CRT's can go up to 85MHz refresh rate, I have no discernable flicker on mine.
I'm on a Sun 21" Re-badged Sony Trinitron
I've used both, but i'm staying on a decent CRT for the moment, until we can get bigger TFT screens.
Cheers,
Paul.

I find 85Hz an absolute minimum. My eyes much prefer 100Hz or 120Hz. 75Hz is very noticeable. 60Hz is like a power drill in my face.

85MHz - now that I would have to see ;-) With a vertical resolution of say 1200 lines that would need a line rate in excess of 102GHz! Might have some interesting X-Ray emmision problems as well!
A top end CRT will do say 150Hz vertical refresh... with a line rate of no more than a few hundred KHz
A good proportion of people will see no flicker at a vertical refresh of 72Hz or better on a small ish screen, most are happy by 85Hz or more on screens upto 21"
(bigger screens are more of a problem because you see more of them in your peripheral vision which is far more sensitve to movement (and hence flicker) than your main field of view)

Humble Hertz are so quaint in todays computing world

No, I am just an electronic enigeneer of some 35 years experience, who switched from hardware to software in the 80's and spent the next ten years progarmming real time and embedded systems.
After that I was running systems integration companies. Then I sold mine, and reitired..

Thats what you get at a snotty uni IMM.
Everything from mechanical engineering to electronics.
El;ectrical sciences covers everything from microwaves through electronics down to power stations.
No, IMM. I knew too much....but that is another story.

I don't think that he has much idea of what a university education is all about anyway - i.e. that it's not some kind of vocational training setup, but rather how to go about identifying and dealing with issues set against a subject background.
The second of these is portable across disciplines and endures time, the first often is not.

Having been through one I certainly do, my old chum.
Electrical and electronic are now very different fields and have been for a very long time.

You have never presented any credible evidence to support that claim.
One can very easily do either or both with an appropriate degree course or migrate from one to the other.

Indeed. Once you get past the A-Level stage, they are all just flavours of applied mathematics. Three dimensional differential equations in conical coordinates, anyone?

Don't you just hate it when people take the easy option, instead of doing the job properly with partials and integrating round the loop, so that they may perhaps, understand it?

Your sure do have a chip on your shoulder don't you IMM ?.
Did somebody who went to uni catch you having a w**k in the shower(you do have one don't ya?) and this is your way of getting your own back by trying to shoot down people who are in almost every case your intellectual superior.
Why don't you please leave this ng and do most of us a favor.
Please guys send all your spare rpg's to imm.
