Okay, you mangy, teeming millions. I have heard your cries, though they sicken me. "Give us GIF! Give us GIF! Have pity on the throwbacks still using Internet Explorer!" Your wails and gnashing of teeth have not fallen upon deaf ears. Turns out, it was stupid simple to implement. BEHOLD! Thumbscrew supports GIF!

I'm warning you, though. It ain't pretty. If you need any kind of color fidelity, you're better off with JPEG and an opaque background color. These GIFs, while small, are uggs. With a capital UGG.

You can do transparent

Or opaque backgrounds

Okay? Happy? If you really want to make the world a prettier place, encourage your friends and colleagues to switch. At least to Firefox, if not to a Mac.

By the way, I'm still getting the Web page thing done. I know a lot of you probably don't use it, but I do, and I need it if I'm going to keep talking to you crazies. Expect a new version by Friday.
