Have you EVER seen an animated gif that communicated something technical?

Yep. I don't remember what it was for, but I do remember finding it quite annoying because I had to watch the animation several times to grasp all of the information that it displayed. If I remember correctly, it was demonstrating a process......probably something to do with XML given what I've been researching lately. I wouldn't recommend it. There's got to be a better way to present technical info in a "movie" format, like a Flash presentation. At least then the user can stop and start the presentation as needed.
