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.

I'm reading Agora in Backtalk, I tried to find Item 98 because my item
list jumps from 96 to 99 (I know 97 is retired, but I can still read
it). I couldn't find 98 as being retired or active. Is there an item
98?

So, then, PICO does not reserve an item number at 'enter' time,
but gets the next available number at 'would you like to submit this
item' time?
