:Statement from jpeg as requested by myself (amongst thousands of others :I imagine) : :http://www.jpeg.org/newsrel1.htm if you need some coverage of the recent Forgent bomb - pls visit netdiver what's new page. It's important to raise awareness in our community concerning this important issue - since at the moment - there is no other *standard* available. Also contacted Richard Clark from jpeg.org and suggested we make a temp board for having people sign in and comment on the issue in order to generate public pressure and awareness; perhaps there are some geeks here that would be willing to build such for free as was done recently for the .org - http://not.invisible.net/signals/bin/000055.shtml - the support comments are here - http://not.invisible.net/MT/mt-comments.cgi?entry_id=55;start=0;limit=12. Do you think it a good idea? .c ...new media culture_magazine + portal + http://netdiver.net ..communication design + http://pixeltable.com
