 	That's what I thought.  I'm happy with the results, but the 
annoyance of getting everything right is definately beyond the scope of 
what most people are willing to deal with.  It was also pointed out to me 
a few months ago that my circuit wasn't completely accurate.  I use a 
3.58Mhz crystal to generate the color subcarrier, but in reality it should 
be line-locked to the horizontal sweep frequency.  That's one of the 
modifications I'd like to do (with all my free time... hahaha!)
