	Nope. Nope. I'm not 100% certain about grey scales, but with other
	colors I can see the difference. Try drawing two squares (on
	a VGA(Ah forbidden word)) which are colored with two different
	colors very close(like colors (50,0,0) and (49,0,0)) to each
	other and you should be able to see a 'line' in the junction
	of the boxes.
