[dba-Tech] Whats new

Hi Stuart:

These new GTY files are like mini-videos. According to the article they compress small videos very small with high resolution. Sounds like a plus if they are replacing streaming video which definitely is a bandwidth hog. PNG, though my personal favourite is a graphic without movie aspirations. ;-)

I am working on a site and might try introducing one GTY and see if this format lives up to its advertised billing.

I stopped using GIF and switched to PNG years ago.  

What else would I use, given where I live? :)
