heres a simple question. Why the big deal over 24 bit graphics? More
specifically wouldnt making 24 bit graphics standard on an amiga 500 make alot 
of old things <like some paint programs and old 8 bit iff images> suddenly
incompatible?

He ALWAYS talks about 24 bit graphics, as if there were no amiga boards that
allowed you to use/create 8 bit graphics. I give up.

on a slightly diffrent note: a friend of mine was showing me a program called
The Art department and when he loaded up an iff, the program was telling him
that 24 bit data was being loaded, or somthing that confused me. can someone
clear this up for me?

<also change the followups since Im sure they wanna keep flames out of csag and
graphics out of csaa :-D >
