Quick question... well, background first.  Okay, a while back
we saw how you could see some "fun" stuff by option-clicking
on the 7.0 in the 7.0 Monitor CDEV.  Cute.  Then I option-
clicked on the "Options..." button and got to see an extended
dialog.  There's a button there for a using special gamma --
the main option being "Uncorrected Gamma."  If I'm not mistaken,
the gamma channel has to do with brightness.  When I selected
this, the monitor's output became darker.  Hmm...

Now then, I've noticed that the GIF pictures I produce on the
Sun appear darker on a Sun than they do on the Mac.  With this
little option, I'm now wondering if the Mac II video card has
a brightened gamma channel.  I'm sans documentation, so perhaps
you might know?  Just wondering... I'd like my system to be
close to "normal" as possible.
