Yes. But looking at colors on a monitor screen is not at all a fair test compared with the original color chips, and in any event not all monitors display things the same way. The dark orange on a PC screen may look quite red on a Mac. Indeed, internal evidence shows that this show was HTML-ized on a Mac. Whoever made the slide show knew too much psychology and not enough biophysics. -- John Cowan <jcowan@...> http://www.reutershealth.com I amar prestar aen, han mathon ne nen, http://www.ccil.org/~cowan han mathon ne chae, a han noston ne 'wilith. --Galadriel, _LOTR:FOTR_
