Fine.  Only on writing did it get ragged.

Yes, that's what OS X uses as its screen capture format.  If you view 
it full size, you can see from left to right the original image, the 
written back ragged image, and the view of the image in squeak.  (I 
overlaid the windows to get that shot) It definitely gets worse on 
writing.

OK, again - the middle one's characters look much more pixellated than 
either the original gif (on the left) or the squeak rendering of the 
gif (on the right).

Yes - one is clearly (on my screen anyhow) smoother looking than the 
other.
