Just saw this on PC Mag's site.  Might help some of our group who don't have
a graphic program other than Windows Paint program.  Apparently, it CAN read
and save jpegs and gifs, a filter comes with Windows, but it's just not
installed.

Oh, apparently, you have to have Microsoft Office, too.

Here's PC mag's instructions on how to install it.

==============================================================
The filter in question is installed along with Microsoft Office, but
strangely, Paint will not realize this until you alert it to the filter's
presence by opening a GIF or JPEG file after installing the filter.

To ensure the filter is installed, launch Add/Remove Programs from the
Control Panel. Select Microsoft Office and choose Add/Remove; then choose
Add or Remove Features. Expand the Converters and Filters selection. Click
on Graphic Filters and select Run all from my Computer. Finally, click on
Update Now.

Now launch Paint, click on Open, and select a GIF or JPEG image (you'll have
to set Files of type to All files). Once you've done that, you should also
be able to save files in either of the two formats.
