That's true if you restrict the systems on which you run to only those
capable of TrueColor -- however, for portability, you can't depend on
that. Even if you do, you still may need to do some adaptation,
depending upon the available number of bit planes, etc. For instance,
if you're running on older SGI Indigo or Indigo^2 platforms, you may
find yourself with only 12 bit planes in double buffered mode (3 x
4).
