                  All I want to do is resize some graphics!

I spent way too much time last night tring to get ImageMagick [1] installed
on my Mac mini. I compiled and installed the latest version, but each time I
tried using it, I kept getting:

> convert: no decode delegate for this image format (jpeg)
>

A Google search [2] on the error didn't prove anything conclusive. Even
installing an older version didn't work (same error). The binary install of
ImageMagick was useless as that's for Tiger, and apparently, I don't have
Tiger but Panther (gee, what ever happened to things like version 10.4 or
10.3?).

Eventually, I was able to find a package I could install [3], but by then
several hours had passed, and all I wanted to do was resize some pictures.

Sigh.
