Using the Images

As
- Windows - Netscape Navigator - Right click and select Save Image As
- Mac - Not a clue, Mac user can you please help
- How come the image I downloaded is no longer animated?
- Are you trying to use the image in a non internet program like
Word, PowerPoint, or WordPerfect. This programs just will not animate
the gif files. A solution is to use AVI files, but I don't know where to
find a GIF to AVI converter.
- While you are using a WYSIWYG editor (e.g. FrontPage, Composer) the
images are not animated till you save and view in the browser.
- What is the copyright on this image?
- Okay the images are one of three things, made by myself, made by a
clipart site, or it is public domain. Read at the bottom of each page
and underneath the images will tell you of any know restriction on the
images. If nothing is said about the image then it is 'believed' to be
public domain, so use at your own risk, although I have never had any
copyright problems. Click here to

- Read the copyright information in the above question, and use the
images as you see fit. Personal use I would not be concerned. Commercial
use you can email me for more information.
