isnt there enough crap in the world?

I’ll be gaddammed if I am gonna hunt down Fireworks or whatever the f* it is too give some IE6 dead-ender a transparent anything!

besides, since an 8 bit gif uses the same 256 color palette and moms love ‘em ( Choosy Moms choose GIFs) then thats what I’ll use!

It also saves your file size by like 50%... isn’t that worth something?
