Yeah, I tend to keep my video dot clock as low as possible (I'm not very
sensitive to flicker... my CRT has dotclock = 150 MHz, vrefresh = 60.7
Hz), so I'm not very vulneragle to ghosting. It astounds me that that
cable couldn't even handle _that_. To me, it seems unconscionable to sell
a product that fails under the most meager of requirements.
