The first time I encountered write mode 3, I understood immediately how
it functioned, but could think of very few useful applications for it.
As time passed, and as I came to understand the atrocious performance
characteristics of **OUT** instructions, and the importance of text and
characteristics of `OUT` instructions, and the importance of text and
pattern drawing as well, write mode 3 grew considerably in my
estimation. In fact, my esteem for this mode ultimately reached the
point where in the last major chunk of 16-color graphics code I wrote,

That's what write mode 3 does—but what is it *for?* It turns out that
write mode 3 is excellent for a surprisingly large number of purposes,
because it makes it possible to avoid the bane of VGA performance,
**OUT**s. Some uses for write mode 3 include lines, circles, and solid
`OUT`s. Some uses for write mode 3 include lines, circles, and solid
and two-color pattern fills. Most importantly, write mode 3 is ideal for
