I can't even see GIF's on my amcintosh yet. Are there different formats 
of GIF's? When I use the GIF viewer, it says cannot decompress. Any 
suggestions?

   While the GIF format is cross-platform, I am aware of at least two
types of GIFs: 87a and 89a.  You should be able to handle this using
GIFConverter on the Mac.
