Responding to the following:

"Huh? Why do you need High-Color SuperVGA for a GUI??? The Mac has a
reputation for a good GUI, and it is IN B&W originally!! So the Amiga
version with 4 colors is plain adequate."

Yes, the Mac has a reputation for a good GUI NOW, so why are you bringing
up past versions of the OS? Please. (Hey, let's compare the A3000 to the
128K Mac. Aren't they lame?). As far as the present goes, the GUI is
essentially 8-bit. That is, individual icons, small icons, scroll bars,
etc, can each have 256 colors. BTW, the original Mac had the capability
to display 8 colors, which is twice as many as you state above!
