Some people never left 8-bit psuedo color. Neither of my two home
machines have graphics cards which can do true color when running at the
highest resolution the monitor can support. One of them has so little
memory on the graphics card that I wouldn't dream of running it in true
color mode (there's room for extra memory chips on that card, but it's
been several years since it was possible to buy compatible chips for
that card). I've used both machines to remotely log into work, and I've
displayed IDL graphics on those monitors. I won't say it was easy: doing
X-windows across a 56K connection is painfully slow. However, it did
display properly, when I used the right IDL settings.
