8 Alpha, 8R, 8G, 8B...huh? Alpha? What the heck is that, infrared? The
human eye only sees three wavelengths, red, green, and blue. There is no
fourth I am aware of. (That's cones; rod cells only return brightness, no
color info at all.) What good is it, making your computer control your TV and
VCR? :)
