No problem. jpeg, as you know, uses lossy compression. Any time you 
resave it, you're going to lose something. png would be nice, but so 
far few browsers read it. Wanna lead the bleeding edge? (Of course, gif 
doesn't have this problem, but I try to stay away from people who throw 
their licensing weight around. :)

When svg becomes more of widely implemented...

Thanks for the trivia. I'll be sure to pull it out at my next cocktail 
party!

What's sad is that I wasn't sure if it was an elephant—not because it 
doesn't look like one, but being in Japan for nearly 5 years has taken 
it's toll on my vocabulary. I wasn't sure there wasn't a more accurate 
word for it. I was thinking mammoth or mastodon were possible 
alternatives, but refrained from saying anything more specific than 
"logo".  I've since checked the dictionary. I'm relieved to find out 
that both are related to elephants, though Slonik appears to be neither.
