Aww, sad day! At least you can use Photoshop in the meantime =)

^-^ hey do you know is there a free place where you can convert gifs to avi files?

Hmm... you mean online? Not that I can think of right off the top of my head. However, I used to use a small free program a long time ago called TakeONE. You can use it to open up a GIF file, and then save it as an AVI file. =)

If that won't work, you are more than welcome to send me the file you're trying to convert, and I'll be happy to do it for you! Shouldn't take very long at all ^^
