No no no, well...  I meant that its quality is best among the available
IIgs GIF viewers.

It  uses VM is the screen is large (like 1024x768), and you don't have enough
RAM.  It'd be awesome if it has APF save.

No reason they can't be beyond 320x200, if you can have some sort of NBA
(that's the HS plug-in, right?) that can display oversized APF files.

In addition to 3200 versions, maybe even have some "zoomed in" versions
as well, for more details.

I was a little disappointed about the F1 stack because it didn't provide
much information about the cars.  I was hoping more car specs, maybe
some power/torque plots (if available), and some detail shots.  But still,
I liked the stack alot.

Hmm, is there a WWW about F1 (I think they must have 1 atleast), I wonder
if they have pictures and stuf...
