That's 256 colours, not 256 bits.

In any case, it's nothing Windows XP compatability mode can't fix (assuming
that it does encounter a problem).

I don't bloody believe it.

Nobody realised that I was JOKING - I was making fun of the trivial

quality control. Seems my intentions remain unrewarded as usual.
You've all made me depressed now, thanks a lot!
