That's a mystery. This behavior began I believe in Mac
OS 8.1. Prior to that, the resolution and color depth
were set independently; at 640x480 you were limited to
256 colors, and you had to select 640x400 (which was
the 
"standard" PowerBook resolution prior to the 180c and
270c) before you could select "thousands." Now it
seems that you can't select any *lower* color depth at
640x400.
