I was playing around with rotating Mobius solids and came up with this... I
thought it was fun and so decided to share it.

Hypnotic! And I'm frankly amazed at the *quality* of the animation, from a GIF
file; I didn't think it was possible. Is that due to the limited color palette,
only shades of red and blue?

Thanks... In cyberspace, no one can hear you giggle.

Thanks... and exactly right... Being a dedicated practitioner of economic
efficiency (cheapskate), I do as much as I possibly can with freeware. I was
able to dig up a copy of the freeware version of Ulead Gif Animator, which has
some pretty nice file size reduction tools for something with a cost of zero.
One would definitely notice more dramatic adverse effects of reducing the size
of the color palette if there were a broader rage of colors.   Also, a flat
black background creates many redundant pixels that can be removed from every
frame but the first.  Finally, relatively rapid motion covers up a world of
fudge factors.

Best Regards,
Mike C.
