Hey there.  While running through the Stella manual again, a question
hit me.  It concerns machine cycles.  I was under the impression that a
machine cycle is the time it takes the machine to go through all it's
instructions, not just programming, but hardware as well, such as
switching colors for a strobe effect.  But the Stella manual says that
the programmer has 76 cycles per scanline to do its thing.  I'm clearly
missing something.  What exactly constitutes a machine cycle?
