Travis Anton's e-mail announced the release of GIFmation v2.1:

"GIFmation 2.1 adds the best click-of-a-button optimization for GIF animaitons available on Macintosh, and since GIFmation is the only tool that provides the ability to make manual optimizations as well to make files even smaller when size is most critical, it is the top tool for optimizing GIF animations on any platform."

Messages from several readers confirm the difference in price returned at the PowerTools site for a PowerTools 4200GT with a PowerBase 180 trade-in ($1557 vs $636) is due to specifying a minitower vs a desktop PB 180. Hopefully, the error is with the PB 180 MT price since who in his/her right mind would trade in a perfectly good and nearly new PB 180 MT for $1,557 when the 4200GT costs $1,599 with no trade-in?
REVISION: When I checked late last night EDT, PowerTools had changed its database and the price for a 4200GT with a PB 180 DT trade-in ranged from about $1,089 to $1,280--the price with a MT trade was some $55 less. Also, I could not find the $1,599 sale price page for the 4200GT--the sale must be over?
