Saw my first animated GIF around 1994-5 because you actually had to wait for Netscape to come out with an upgrade that allowed them to be visible!

But boy it was like the same feeling people must have had seeing a moving picture for the first time!

And all I was looking at was a spinning ball (on C-Net) with the word GIF on it.

Did this article even address the history about the GIF? The last sentence I see says, ‘not bad for a format that
Predated the internet’. Is there more to the article than this? When I clicked on the link for article it wouldn’t open up unless I had an Apple news app.

Always interesting to see the ‘pre-Cloroxed’ version of Michael Jackson, back when he looked almost normal.
Before vs After, when he got the Joan Crawford on Meth look.
