In one of the computer courses I took at the local community college
about a dozen years ago, they taught us how to make animated GIFS by 
using one of the programs installed in the Window$ 95 machines we 
were using.  I don't remember the name of the program.  I don't know  
if the program came with Window$ 95, or whether Micro$oft supplied 
it as an "add-on", or whether it was a program that one had to obtain
from a third party software company.  I do remember that the program 
was a PITA to use.  By using the mouse one had to make a series of
drawings, or a  series of copies, being modifications of the original
GIF image.  For people like me, who lack artistic talent for drawing,
and who lack a feel for how to make animated cartoons, the program 
was very difficult to use for producing the hoped-for results. Also it
was a very time consuming procedure for everyone.  Only a very few of 
my classmates liked the program and felt that it was fun to play with.
