Every time I have posted in a format other than

Jpeg is such a universal and easily read standard
it is hard to buck the system, however I will tinker
with PNG and see what develops.


Unfortunately, also quite universal is an ignorance of basic
digital concepts. People are reluctant to accept anything
beyond JPEG because of a failure to understand. They literally
don't know what they are missing.

FWIW, here are two images of text material. One is compressed
with JPG and the other with PNG. Notice the very unsightly
"halos" around the text in the JPG version, whereas the
PNG version is quite clean with no artifacts.
