Someone asked me "where do GIFs come from", and I had to confess that
I am not up to date on the best hardware, and didn't see anything on
this in the monthly posting.  I would appreciate being sent info on
ways to turn photographs, or frames from a VHS tape/camcorder, into
color (I'm not interested in B&W) images on a PC, preferably methods
that would be in the <$1,000 range.  (If you know good ways to do it
on an Amiga or Mac I am interested there too.)  If you know of an
alternative that exceeds this price range but does a lot better job,
I want to hear about that also.

I'm also interested in the methods used to create the animated GIF
images that conform to the 89 standard: how hard is it to create
one of these beasts?

If I get enough response I'll post a summary.  I probably won't be
able to email back to everyone who sends me something, as I've been
having a lot of trouble getting mail out recently.
