Ya know...I see the difference, but the whole scene looks
faded/darker/hazier (don't know the right word I am looking for) now.
Almost blurry.

Anyways thanks for the lession.

I am working on a model of a kenetic energy thing I have at work.  It runs
on battery and just spins and spins and spins and .....  Someone at work
said, "be neat if you could animate it."  I said, "I will!!!"  Provided I
can get it to work, it'll be up later this weekend.
