			<outline text="Josh Allen sent me a .reg file, and says if I 2click it, Microsoft Paint will save GIFs and JPEGs. I held my breath, cursed Adobe three times, and 2clicked. Launch Paint. And voila, they're there. Now can they save? &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.scripting.com/images/microsoftDoesGifs.gif&quot;>Yes&lt;/a>, in a manner of speaking, esp if you like a green tint randomly smattered on everything."/>
			<outline text="&quot;Afaik&quot;, neither Microsoft or Adobe have caught up with the Web. Sorry guys. You get 0 points each, and a negative 100 points for lack of teamwork. How could it be that a developer such as myself can't save a stinking GIF to a file on my local hard drive. It's 2000, not 1995. According to these companies, the Web likes green tints, or I didn't really pay for the software I paid for."/>
