I've been wondering...about gif?

[Alectric]

i hate gif software
it just seems to be problem after problem.
(these are probs i have had with gif makers)
1. lowers quality drastically
2. puts symbol in corner or "UNREGISTERED"
3. dont work at all, makes the gifs, but cant preview them
4. all want you to register the product...

and i've searched long and hard
