Or you could upload a javascript file and add three lines to your headinclude so those 10% see PNGs properly.

Really no excuse to not use PNG over GIF these days for static images. Animated GIF is still popular but with animated PNG support in Firefox 3 by default, it will become more and more accepted as well. Hopefully in a few years, we can say goodbye to the GIF format altogether. It is outdated and a relic of 8-bit computing.
