PNGs on the web
voidmain:
Yes I understand that the *real* guys working on JPEG are as morally competent as the PNG guys. The only difference is PNG doesn't have some unknown dark patent issue lurking under it. The JPEG issue hasn't been resolved as far as I know but the last I saw all indications looked good for JPEG but I don't believe anything has gone to court or if that will ever happen. Maybe you have some good updated info.. And a more accurate comparison would have been "PNG is to GIF as Ogg is to MP3".
I prefer to use PNG precisely *because* many of the M$ browsers are broken. That might cause some M$ punter to switch to Mozilla. For the rest, to hell with them.

Just a big black box for me (IE 6 on Win 98). But after resaving it in Paint Shop Pro, it showed just fine.

I don't think that's quite right, It's:
PNG is to JPEG as Monkey's Audio is to MP3.

I believe you are correct sir. That is a better comparison, at least technically (lossless vs lossy). My comparison was more of a moral comparison. Have you used this Monkey's Audio? What would the typical file size be on a 4 minute song ripped from CD? With MP3 or Ogg I would expect somewhere around 3-4MB.

I was visiting my site using IE on a Compaq running Win2000 when I realized that there was a large black rectangle where my logo should be. I'm beginning to get a little worried that a lot of visitors won't be able to see the title of the site.
