TIL: JASC stood for Jets and Software Company..

Adding my name to the list of people who loved Paint Shop Pro and had several amazing interactions with the company.

Primarily the Name JASC was short for “Just Another Software Company” but later it was changed to “Jets and Software Company”.

JASC also made "Animation Shop", a GIF editor.

It won't open modern x264 files, but works fine with uncompressed video.

And the GIF format just won't die thanks to hipsters.

Thank you JASC and hipsters!
