In other gif news, back in the mid 90's, when not everybody had internet and we still logged on to bulletin boards, via aour 14.4 modems, gifs were pretty much the main type of pic file available. However, our computer had no suitable viewer or gif files and it wasn't as easy as going to cnet or doing a Google search to find a viewer. We had a program called gif2exe. It did what it says. Turned your gif into an executable file. You'd run the exe and the gif would come up on the screen.
