Jay,
The "snapping your jaw" syndrome is related to a biological function, and
hardly qualifies as a test of flicker. A long persistence monitor does indeed
help, and the scrolling data is not at all unpleasant with the right amount of
persistence.
The Amiga's smooth scrolling is certainly not unique. The Vic, C64, C128,
Plus/4 and C16 were all capable of smooth scrolling, and without using grahic
bitmaps to do so. There are probably more, but those are the ones I am familiar
with.
Regards, Larry.
