On a related topic, don't you just love when computer manufacturers
or sales people say things like "can display 16 million colors"
(when the max. resolution of the monitor is 2 or 3 million pixels),
or "allows you to see 16 million colors" (when the human eye cannot
distinguish between more than approx. one million color hues)?
