Good. You can stay. ;)

This will depend on the display support on the system. If they have
low-res - say, 640x480, it'd have to be rather large to look rounded,
and if they're using a WebTV or WinCE device or something (generally
320x240 or less) it has to be even larger, or it gets grainy edges.

I'd assume, too, that this is a highly subjective question. Though it
looks rounded to me at only a 5 or 6 pixels (because I'm using
1920x1600 resolution on my primary display), if I drag something of
that size over to my 'preview' screen on the TV connected to my
desktop

There is some code for this on vbAccelerator.com - I don't have time
to give an exact link at the moment, but dig around over there in the
classic VB section in the graphic lib area.

Again, on vbAccelerator.com there is a library sample to store images
as JPG. Since the legal ramifications of saving as GIF are far more
pressing (though less of an issue in the USA anymore), I would suggest
avoiding the GIF format.
