Well Marc,
Actually PNG does do animations and they are called MNG. So unless you
have several thousand dollars lying around you want to use to pay the
GIF owners for using those on your site, PNG pretty much takes care of
everything now. Plus as Joshua mentioned all the "really good"
browsers already support PNG stuff now. Netscape I believe mentioned
they were dropping any further support for the 4.xx versions and I
guess M$ will have to come around with IE if they want to continue
peddling their junk to users.
