Did I miss a memo?

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Our graphics person sent me a picture today, and I noticed that it was a .gif, and since I knew this came from a digital camera that defaulted to .jpg I wondered why he went to all the trouble of changing that. His reply was that the company that hosts our website told him to never use .jpg’s on the website because they are incompatible with some browsers.

Seriously, is this a wide-spread problem? I’ve used a pretty good variety of browsers over the last couple of years and I have never had a problem with jpg’s not displaying. That’s the format I use in my photo galleries, and I tested that out with a bunch of different browsers. What the heck?

    nf0 asks an interesting question in the forums. “What’s your favorite source for finding Windows Update news?”. Personally I don’t like the Windows Update function at all. I try to stay alert to online media sources, the Langa Letter, Lockergnome or even winguides.com for security updates. Let’s face it, most online sources love to tell…

    I see the full-feed/partial-feed debate has risen it’s ugly head again. Oh joy, just when I thought I might have missed something while I was toiling in the land of dialup at my in-laws all weekend, and then driving home today. Nope, same old crap. People with advertising, who are worried about the money they…
