<<james- could be i'm an idiot (it's been said before) but when i visited
your
site in both netscape and ie, all the pic links were broken. please advise-
would love to see your stuff! thanks, moish>>
I wrote about this on my main page, but I'll go ahead and post here.
All of my images are in Portable Network Graphic (PNG) format. This makes
them both smaller and higher quality than GIFs, plus there are no huge
licensing fees. With GIFs, Unisys owns a patent on the compression
algorithm and charges $5000 to license the use of their method. Being a
supporter of open standards, I boycott GIFs because of this.
To view PNGs, you need the latest version of Netscape (4.74) or Internet
Explorer 5.0+ 5.01 works best so far.
On a Mac, Netscape or IE4.5 should work.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but this makes site maintainence much
easier, and takes up less space on my server. The site's already about 60
megabytes as it is.
Fortunately, I own the server so I have no fees for extra space.

| (...) Hey James, I use Netscape 5.0 and the pics don't work, but on my computer when I right click on the pic and select "view image" it opens the file in Quicktime and I can see it fine. --Me (24 years ago, 21-Jul-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)
