Ta Kif - very interesting.

I use 16 vs 24 bit and 800x600 vs 1024x768 as my test box but I'd assumed
that the larger screen sizes were taking over and I had no idea about
colour depth. I suppose the Windows default is likely to remain at High
Colour and 800x600 for some time...

I once had a client complain that the draft for a site looked terrible. I
found out they were using a 640x480 screen in 256 colours. And this was
only last year...

This makes some assumptions about the users of
my site being 'average' but these figures are similarly reflected
elsewhere too....
