Thus their claim to support 24-bit colour is fine but they should be clearer about what they mean by that.

It is misleading: two or three people here already got wrong because of that. Unless you're really into technical stuff, you'll interpret it as supporting (adding) 24bit in AGA. Weather it was done on purpose or not is left to the appreciation of everyone (I wouldn't be surprised it was).

Adding something like "full-AGA support, including HAM8 modes (HighGFX HAM8 supported)" would be ok as I see it.

Indivision is advertised as 24bit Flickerfixer, not as a 24bit graphic card.

The thing is, for most people, reading "24bit" means 24bit screenmodes... Most people may be wrong, you won't change them. So this is misleading for most people.

There is a way to acurrately describe the project *without* misleading people. That's my point.

But I do think the terms are confusing to a certain percentage of their audience, even if those terms are technically accurate...

Sigh... thank you!
