Cabling your sound card to your stereo system can make for a much more
pleasant working environment. ;) Just be careful connecting a powered
output (spk out) to a stereo's line input - the impededance difference can
ruin your stereo.

this is going downhill. let me try again
<tip type="breaking free of the websafe straitjacket">
Try http://www.colormix.com/ - it's free.
To simulate non-websafe colours, Colormix generates two-colour or
three-colour "swatches". You pick the real colour, it will generate the
swatch.
Caution 1: three-colour can start to become visible, but two-colour is
usually ok.
Caution 2: these sorts of dithers can *sometimes* cause problems with
antialiased images, or narrow line designs.
