FYI some of us with older machines who have been fortunate enough to =
upgrade to larger monitors, do not have the video hardware to take =
larger display AND 16.7M colors. I have compromised at 16 bit color to =
be able to use a 1024x768 desktop. My 19 inch monitor will give me more =
area, but only at 256 colors! NOT a compromise I am willing to make, but =
perhaps others are.=20
(Before someone tells me to upgrade my video card... I can't as it is =
part of the motherboard. I'm holding out for a new system!)=20
