And where you cannot do 24-bit PostScript output to print your pretty
24-bit displays.
Seriously, I agree with Liam that an all 24-bit world nice. I'm very
frustrated by the inability to make hard copies of 24-bit graphics other
than through bitmaps. This is becoming more and more of a problem as our
displays change to 24-bit and my graphics tools (want to) change with
them.
