Yes - that is certainly what the mass public has been lead to believe.

'tis a pity...

(If you are interested in a technical discussion, which I assume is way
beyond you - RGB is, after all, not a technical group - check out any of
the OS2 groups for discussion as to why "the more bits is better"
argument is mostly bogus.)

			The Official JM Personality Test

Part I. Answer these questions:

	1) You are visiting a friend in his office and you notice two
	   calendars on adjacent walls.  On one wall, is a Three Stooges
	   calendar; on the other, one of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit
	   Edition.  Which one is more likely to hold your
	   interest/attention?

	2) You are driving on an urban freeway (not at rush hour) and
	   there is a traffic snarl, that looks like it could go on for
	   some time.  As you crawl forward, you notice an exit to a
	   surface street that looks like it might get you where you
	   are going more quickly than the freeway will.  Are you
	   likely to take the exit or would you just stay where you
	   are and duke it out with everybody else?

	3) You go into a restaurant and order a Rueben sandwhich.
	   When it arrives, you are not pleased with its
	   price/performance ratio.  Are you more likely to say that
	   it is not big enough or that it is too expensive?

Part II. Now, write an essay for each one telling what you think it
	says about you/What the purpose of each question is.

	  hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars, every time he posts -
