The Bright Ideasr CD-ROM

This is a "Hybrid" CD-ROM. You may use it with  PC-
compatible or Macintosh computers and associated
graphics applications. Your computer automatically
displays the appropriate format.

These instructions apply equally to PC and
Macintosh computers. Since systems and
applications vary considerably, our goal is to
provide your Bright Ideasr images in a simple
format that may be used without installation on
any system.

If you are an experienced user, simply drag`n drop
the images from the CD-ROM into an open document.
If you do not understand "Drag'n drop", read the
following paragraphs.

selected image number and double-click it. In some
programs the selected images appear in your
