PNG ("Ping") is a new web graphic format that's going to save us all, but
naturally, not much supports it yet.

It will have alpha transparency that with blow away GIF and not be
proprietary like GIF is, plus it can embed vector elements.

Pretty much nobody is using it yet, though. Maybe by browser level 7...

What the hell is PNG? Another format? Oulook brought it up.

The hosting service I use charges me if I exceed 4GB/month of data dransfer.
I have plenty of storage, and I'm on a OC-12 fibermux (speed is NOT an
issue!)

Yep, another format. Touted as the next big thing to replace GIF,
technically more versatile and without licensing fee issues, but slow to be
adopted as a standard.
