Hello Dave Nelson,

The only reason I say gif is the best is because
the Europeans seem to like gif best with
thir linux systems and since I can deal with
most anything I think we might humor
them so the world can be one big happy
family :-)  I got this penpal at the JRC
in Ispra Italy and he uses me to practice his english on
that is where I learned they seem to favor
GIF over everything else.
The Europeans are quite intolerant of inefficiency.
They do noy like americans using heavy paper
in the mail they want you to use something like
tissue paper that is so thin you can see through it.

Regards;
geoff
