IE doesn't seem to have problems with pngs

 FUD?  Sorry, but using of png for non-transparent stuff is fully
encouraged, especially for things where true colors count, like in this
case.

 gif is patented, software patents suck.
 
 Yep, that's right - we use ist still for the navbar images. Maybe we
should switch those to jpg's, too?  *wonders*

 jpg is the best alternative.

 jpg is crap when it comes to pics in which you need true colors and you
know that (I hope).

 If you can't name some browsers that doesn't support png (I am not
talking of transparency at all here) you are just doing FUD.

Personally I've restrained myself from converting that particular image to
PNG because the JPEG fuzziness doesn't look all that bad on it.
