A couple of days back, someone posted to alt.sex.pictures, with a picture that
was in (a uuencoded form of) JPEG compression.  I downloaded the program used
to compress gifs like that, and I'm impressed (I've reclaimed at least 2.5 
Megs so far).  Does anyone think that this could become one of the new 
standards for posting to alt.sex.pictures?  Everyone seems to complain about
bandwidth, and, frankly, when you can store a 250K gif using 40-60K, that 
solves a good part of the problem right there.  
	Questions? Comments? this seems like it might have very interesting
possibilities.
