appreciate what they can do, but still don't understand them.

It's an object that manages an OpenGL surface, its location in 3D space and its place in a hierarchy of layers.

Does that help?

I don't know about Gordon, but it helps *me*. I only have a rough idea about CALayer from one ADC video I half-watched, and didn't know until looking at the class doc just now that it's a model class. For some reason I'd thought it was a view class.
