Yeah, if you are the sort of person who still uses a rotary

Oh, dear! Not this ugly monster again. :-)
Here is some reading for you:
http://www.dfanning.com/color_tips/working_with_color.pdf
Make absolutely sure you read page 2 on Making SURE
you are in a True-Color Visual Class. We cannot help
you if you stay with a DirectColor Visual Class. Sorry. :-(
Cheers,
David
