Another way to make an animated gif of a spinning globe (say, Earth)
would be to take a little movie of one on your digital camera. Then,
using commands like in Quicktime (a movie player program esp popular
with Macs but also available for Wintel machines), you can get all the
stills put into a folder as jpgs. These can be culled and formatted in a
graphics program (to gif) to make up a reasonably small animated gif.
You would have fun too.
