.. turned radiosity on in the ini file and thought that was
it?
  .. went on like this for more than a year untill someone
mentiond radiosity settings?
.. Explained to you grandparents that an apple has a layered
texture?
  .. Do they still think that an apple is either green or
red?
    .. Do they think that you should have a wider circle of
friends?
