LZW is out of patent. Wow, end of an era. I hope PNG isn't hurt too bad by this, though. I still really prefer it to GIF, even without the evil IP issues.

And, check it out, a new Vinge short story. I really want to live in his future. No one gets where computers are going like he does, not even Ken MacLeod.

PNG is so huge though.
Or, at least, everything I ever download in PNG format (which is, almost always, from cyphertext) takes forever to download. :)
