Animated GIFs

In a slight stumble down memory lane, I’m remembering when animated gifs became such a big deal. The first one I saw was on Suck…long, long ago when they still had the server pushed animated logo. I think my exact reaction when viewing the source was: “What the $%&#@?!!?!” Now, it’s hard to believe there was a time when motion on the Web was strange and magical. For that matter, it’s hard to believe there was a time when Suck was strange and magical as well.
