starting to make animated gifs- what free app is good?

[Garibaldi]

I was thinking of starting to make some animated GIFs to play around with. What free apps would you recommend for this? Also what should I know about doing it and are there any special features you can add like effects or transitions?

"Animated GIF Creator" is the app name. You can probably find it almost anywhere, but I got it from the download section of www.zdnet.com

When I first hooked up my 5.1 on my new comp I was playing Morrowind and had it turned up really loud.... dude walks by me then goes "hello, can I help you" from behind me. I nearly hit the ceiling...

Garibaldi, according to what i am reading, the GIMP can do it. Here's a link to a very basic animated gif creation
