- When will Atari learn! Do they honestly think that 707730515522477394500

- But seriously, surely 256 bitplanes would have been sufficient - giving
- a measly 115792089237316195423570985008687907853269984665640564039457584
- 007913129639936 colours. But then again, I'd rather deal with int's than
