The error I reported in #80 appears to be a problem with the Arbortext
proxy server, not with Backtalk. I explained this to backtalk@hvcn.org.

maybe, in keeping with the nut-theme established with pistachio,
you should use "blanched almond"
(according to X11's rgb.txt file [maps RGB values to names] BlanchedAlmond
is Red:255 Green:235 Blue:205. actually, that makes it a little too pink
for my tastes..)

How many colors are color monitors displaying nowadays? I thought 256 was
the maximum. I have two colors - amber and black - but can't use pistachio
anyway because I access the web via grex/lynx.

Generally the number of colors displayable isn't a function of the monitor
(at least not the number of colors you're referring to, though there
presumably is a finite number of colors to which the monitor is limited,
based on such things as the properties of the phosphors used and the amount
of control over the electron gun..)
I assume, though, that you're talking about the number of simultaneous
displayable colors. Although many people still use 256-color modes most
new computers have enough video memory to display millions of colors at
high resolutions. (common numbers are 2^16 = 65536 colors, and 2^24 =
16.7 million colors..)

Butter Pecan!
Flat-panel displays often do limit the number of colors that can be
displayed.....pity those rich enough to own flat panels.

I deleted a nice piece of spam that someone sent to everybody who was on grex
at the time asking for help. Are there policies about this?

re #92: Since she said "monitor" I decided not to go into the limitations
of the LCD display devices but yeah, you're right..

Re 100, I just did use Pistachio, it works. Some day someone with spare time
can remove that statement to the effect that you cannot use it with lynx.
