Right. Well I just got about 20 messages from all over the place telling me that the Plus and the CLassic CAN both display Gif. I have also learn a special lesson. It costs me 33cents per k to send and to RECEIVE mail from overseas. So, please, no more replies!!! (And ESPECIALLY no more files! (at least without my permission!!!!)) Thankyou. I think I'll limit the distribution in the future. Bye!

Either using GIF Converter or Vision Lab, but you loose a lot of picture detail when converting a 256 Color or Grayscale image into a bitmapped image. When I was trying to decide whether to buy a Macintosh II or a Mac SE, the deciding factor for me was when I viewed a 256 Color picture of Kelley LaBroch on a Macintosh II Apple Color RGB Monitor and compared it to how it looked on a Macintosh SE. My jaw litterally dropped to floor when I saw how good the GIF picture look on the Macintosh II. So I sold my Mac 512KE, sold my moped, and borrowed money from my grandmother and purchased a Macintosh II. I am very satisfied and will upgrade when Apple comes out with a Multi-Processing Macintosh Computer (You know the kind that you are able to add more processors to run more applications concurrently, maybe the Macintosh II'040, who knows?)
