It would look better if I hadn't reduced the file size so much, but I didn't want to clog up the boards with an 80k avatar. grin

I used to use the freeware program "Microsoft Animation Shop" which is pretty crappy, but gets you started for more advanced (and more expensive) programs like Paint Shop Pro and Animation Shop. Actually, PSP is about $300, and AS comes free with it (which is how I went), but you can pick up Animation Shop for about $35 on their website (I believe it's www.jascsoftware.com) smile

Double-J

(BTW I'd be happy to make someone an avatar, just PM me about it) cool
