ISP Information:
Invented by CompuServe for efficient transmission of graphics, this format can only support 256 colors, or 8 bits. The newer revision, 89a, allows for multiple images in one file to simulate animation. Unisys owns the patent to a form of compression used in GIF files and occasionally decides to demand licensing fees. Thus, you may want to use the newer and completely free PNG format instead of using GIF files.

But we are concerned about fires. Do comforters really keep you as warm and toasty as the an EB? and what do we look for in a comforter?I live in a high rise apartment without any obstruction from the wind.The temp in my apartment can get pretty low sometimes, but I am used toit. I tried an electric blanket for one winter season. I hated it. Iwent out and bought a good quality down comforter (queen size) and aregular bedspread. I put the bedspread on me, then the down comforter ontop of the bedspread and I am toasty warm, even on the most windy andcold nights.
