Well, sort of. It seems that lots of folks seem to think it's unnecessary to
cater to the 216 palette as most computers can display millions (24-bit) of
colors.

The problem with this thinking is that pretty soon, most browsing will be
done on handhelds, appliances, phones, and other small devices (well, maybe
not "most" but a good chunk). Most of these will have 8-bit displays, if
they're color at all.

So I think it's a good idea to know your audience. But that's just my
opinion. ;-)
