[Sigia-l] web safe colors

[Drop, Daniel]

Is the distribution of 8-bit graphic cards equivalent to the distribution of
people who use 256 colors?  On my PC at home, there are children's games
that only run with 256 colors. Understanding how the PC works, I will switch
to True color when I browse the Web. How many users will keep their machines
at 256 colors so they don't have to make those changes? Based on this
observance, I would suspect that the number of people who use 256 colors are
greater than the number of people with 8-bit cards. Has anyone seen any
research that proves the numbers are higher?
