Bizarrely, I had thought just the same! - I meant to post a message about it
but clicked the wrong button and it tried to send to IMBJR directly - but
didnt because he's entered a fake e-mail address.
Will IMBJR suffer the same fate, I wonder...

I actually think I might. I'm not sure -- I know the video card I have is
pretty beefy and over $400.

Care to tell the brand and the model of it? I'm just curious as I don't
know any 16-bit/channel video card (I'm not caliming that there aren't
any..).

In context with the rest of this threads in this group, I can totally
understand why you might think I'm being sarcastic. Because I saw no posts
in the thread yet, I thought it would have a different context but I was
wrong. Lemme explain: I think I understand why you are so concerned about
the color being exact because of your style of art. Most of us are
techno-types so we are thinking in terms of technical merit. Where your art
isn't highly technical, it is very /artistic/ and your use of color appears
to be what you are focussing on. So, when I saw the subtle blue on the
right, I thought, "A person who isn't concerned about the color wouldn't
bother to be that subtle with the blue." I also didn't read the entire other
thread because I'm too busy which is why I kept out of argument -- I still
don't know enough about what is going on.
...I do know, however, it took me all of 2 minutes to install Irfanview and
get the plug-ins...
I think people are failing to appreciate the uniqueness of your art and
judging based solely on technical merit. If I were in your shoes, I would be
just as frustrated. I'm not trying to cause trouble (although sometimes I
am, but in this case no) so please, guys, don't take my words defensively;
I'm seeking to understand IMBJR and the more I /try/ to understand IMBJR,
the more I change my perspective on his work. You gotta admit -- it is very
unique work and, with our help, he will gain in technical skill and make
even more interesting works in the future.
> Wittering on like that makes you look like an ignorant fool.
It's pretty well established I'm an ignorant fool -- in fact, thank you for
your kind words, because there are a few lurking around who would use
stronger words than that! :-)

Sure -- it is an NVIDIA GeForce3 Ti 200. Since it's off-the-shelf (and
probably a year old now) I'm guessing it probably isn't more than 8 bits per
channel, but I don't know much about video cards so I can't speak with any
confidence about anything on this. All I know is that it was damned
expensive new :-)

Yeah, I think every consumer videocard are 8bit/channel cards, including
yours - despite the price ;) And most likely most of the pro cards are
also. This might change as now PhotoShop, for example, is beginning to
support 16-bit tools.

Tell me about it: I upgraded my computer last autumn and bought the
fastest (back then) videocard - Radeon 9800Pro. It was some 400+
euros/dollars. I paid about the same amount for my computer :) But oh,
how smooth are the games now :)

True, it is worth the price just to load up your favorite game and drool for
a few hours :-)
We've had overheating problems (we, meaning my buddies -- they are the
hardware guys, I'm the software guy, so my machine is custom built -- by
somebody else :-) )

IIRC, BDW left of his own accord. AFAIK there has been only one person
banned from this server, and it was for much worse abuse. I could be
wrong.
IBMJR has toned down a good bit recently after being directed to
provisions of the AUP. BDW didn't seem to care.
