P.S.:

The basic U.S. patent for GIF expires in June, 2003. (Other "extensions" are "pending".) So maybe we can all shift away from jpeg to GIF next June until jpeg expires.

For 3 extra points: what percentage of corporations are run by masters of ticking off the general public?

GIF only supports a 256 color palette, so, it won't do for quality photos.
