It's around 14kb if I remember correctly, so yes, it should.

So basically, a little patience goes a long way.

As for programs, there's a few good ones out there. I used Adobe ImageReady, which only goes up to CS3 I believe, but that shouldn't be a problem. There's a few free ones too, but I don't remember what they are.

CS3 has built-in animation creation, but you can't open existing animated GIFs (which is retarded).

I've been making animated GIF avatars for other forums for ages now. (Pretty much every .gif is animated.) 90% of them are Guilty Gear-related, though. That said, it isn't especially difficult once you get the hang of it (and having pre-made images to work with makes it very easy).

That is why I still use ImageReady. Don't know why they decided to do that instead of just keeping ImageReady.

They removed ImageReady from CS3!?

Yeah, they want you to use Fireworks now.

And no, it's not bundled.

Oh god I hate Fireworks so much. What a really bad program.
