While I agree with your basic conclusion, I think printer manufacturers would be quite surprised to hear that three inks only produce eight different colors. Your estimate is true if you take the colors to be on/off quantities, but you can also vary the intensity of each component color by how much ink you use. A little ink will produce a lighter shade than more ink, and combinations with other colors produce even more variations.
That only applies with dye sublimation printers. Most printers can only output shades of colours by dithering or halftoning
The QMacStyle class provides a Mac OS X style using the Apple Appearance Manager.
This class is implemented as a wrapper to the HITheme APIs, allowing applications to be styled according to the current theme in use on Mac OS X. This is done by having primitives in QStyle implemented in terms of what Mac OS X would normally theme.
Warning: This style is only available on Mac OS X because it relies on the HITheme APIs.
The QWindowsXPStyle class provides a Microsoft WindowsXP-like look and feel.
Warning: This style is only available on the Windows XP platform because it makes use of Windows XP's style engine.
Doesn't this mean it's using native widgets? (If it was just making it's own versions of them, then these 2 themes would work on other platforms, wouldn't they?)
Adobe \A*do"be\ ([.a]*d[=o]"b[asl]), n. [Sp.]

adjective, as, an adobe house, in Texas or New Mexico.

I'd go for Puppy. I put it on my brother-in-law's ancient Win98 box so my sister (hates Windows, loves Linux) could use it. The nice thing about Puppy is it makes a nest file, so you don't have to repartition the hard drive (Dynebolic also does this, so it might be worth looking into if these are your needs), and it runs fast even on old machines.
There's also the point that it's basically Debian for the masses. Debian is brilliant (I ran it for years), but I'd never have recommended it to my parents. A year or so ago, I built them a PC out of the upgrade leftovers I had lying around and installed Kubuntu, and they love it. My dad is even getting some admin knowledge from watching me and asking questions etc., where he's always treated computers as a 'black box' entity in the past.
Seeing as how so many rev.1 Macs fall apart/explode/eat your cat, this is a pretty minor problem. Good thing I'm waiting for rev.2 (hopefully with Leopard)

!Phone sounds like a RISC OS application. (might be one for all I know - it's a while since I stopped using my Acorn)

I didn't think arthritis normally set in till late 60's or so.....is it normal to get this in the early to mid 40's!??!
Not 'normal', but it happens. I've got the beginnings of it and I'm only 24 (Genetic inheritance sucks sometimes).
Aah...
Now I see...
Is that you, Ballmer?

They use the native widgets. Aqua on OS X, and Luna (or whatever) on WinXP. (this is why these 2 themes only work on their respective platforms)
How does it use non-standard C++?
Also, it might just be me, but wx apps always seem to look a bit off compared to 'native' ones (in GTK, at least).
There's also ease of use. In my experience, Qt is much easier to work with than wx (although that's subjective)
Err... It works with X11, too (seeing as how KDE is based on it, and all...)
Double/long I is pronounced like the English 'ee' in Japanese.

IIRC a virus is just a bit of RNA inside a protein shell, so it's not exactly 'alive' to begin with.

I doubt it... It's PowerPC-based.
Office 2004 only has Word, Excel, Powerpoint & Entourage (Outlook) Suppose you need MS Access? or one of the non-core apps (eg. Visio)?

I think it's more a case of gaijin syndrome. Japan is pretty nationalistic, and the competition are both Japanese companies.
