This is fair comment, but on the other hand a person like this will see 
the results and accept they're due to their own hardware limitations (ie 
it will reflect badly on the computer in use, not the Web page). Making 
it look good for the low-end users will come across as just a low-end Web 
page to everyone else (ie reflecting badly on the Web page).

I'd go 256. 

(I use a telnet Web server more often than not, as it is useable and 
works well with KA9Q. Obviously I don't get graphics, but I accept that 
to be the price I pay. It is nice for the lowest common denominator to be 
supported, but that's not the same as making it the target. The same 
applies to B+W vs colour TV; nobody would seriously expect program makers 
to be making TV programs in B+W these days, and those with B+W TV's 
accept the limitations.)

Mark.
