        I agree, I have seen some good JPEG schematics, but I've seen alot more
bad
ones, Jpegs seems to blur things too much, with a GIF, you can zoom in
really nicely and see the finest detail, with JPEGs my experience has shown
that it tends to blur, contrast suffers and details are sometimes lost. And
I guess aside from all that, JPEGs open more slowly on older machines than
GIFs. Just my personal preference. TTYL
