A good GIF creator?

Hi, everyone! I'm looking for suggestions on a good GIF maker... which program do you recommend?

If the program is free, then it's better! Of course. :)

Thanks.

adobe photoshop. Be prepared to spend some $

Uhm.. MS Paint, "Save As..", select GIF.

Really, virtually any picture editor will let you create GIF format files.
What do you want?

good answer nodsu - totally forgot about that. Best of all Paint is FREE.

Well, you still have to pay for Windows to get it ;)

OK, I should have specified, I meant animated gif maker...

sorry for that...
