USER INSTRUCTIONS:
IMAGES OF CREATION - WINDOWS SCREEN SAVER
Your screen saver program has been installed into the Windows(tm)
Desktop of the Control Panel. BE CERTAIN YOUR MONITOR IS SET TO
256 COLOR PALETTE. If you have an old generic VGA monitor which
can only display 16 colors, I'm afraid these images will look
terrible. Sorry.
Accessing your screen saver is easy and requires only three steps:
I. Double Click on the Control Panel
II. Open the Desktop Item
III. Select your screen saver, set delay, and password via
Setup.
=======================================================================
I. Load the Control Panel
The Control Panel is generally found in the MAIN group of your Program
Manager. Execute the Control Panel by double clicking the Control Panel
icon.
If you cannot find the MAIN group or the Control Panel icon, you can run
the control panel from the File Manager by double clicking CONTROL.EXE in
your main Windows directory (usually called WINDOWS).
=======================================================================
II. Run the Windows Desktop
To run the Desktop of the Control Panel, double click the Desktop
icon in the Control Panel.
=======================================================================
III. Select your screen saver
Use the 'Screen Saver' area of your Desktop screen to select your screen
saver. You may use the Test button to preview your screen saver and the
Setup button to assign a password and activate/deactivate your mouse.
#########################################################################
FOUR GOOD REASONS TO REGISTER!
1) YOU WILL RECEIVE ELEVEN (11) ADDITIONAL EXTRAORDINARY, UNIQUE
MYTHIC IMAGES OF CREATION. (Actually, you will
get 12 new photos because the painting with the registration
reminder will no longer have text upon it.)
2) THE REGISTRATION REMINDER WILL NOT APPEAR DURING YOUR SLIDE
SHOW.
3) You will be supporting an important project in which Reality
Software seeks to make available to art enthusiasts, design
pros and those working in multimedia, royalty free images at $1.00
each. Compare that price with those typically charged by stock
photography agencies whose lowest, one time use fees are usually
$100.
4) You can absolve yourself of guilt because you have just
acquired at no cost three exceptional, mythic paintings to use as you
wish, royalty free.
5) You will have access to our tech support.

THE MYTHOS OF CREATION
These paintings evolved through fractal generation
and were then subjected to a transformative evolutionary
process with state-of-the-art computer art programs. As fractals,
this art cannot exist without the computer because the generation of
such imagery is not possible within traditional physical mediums. The
computer thus emerges as a primary creative force in this realm,
yet it must be guided and structured by the human mind. As the iterative
equations that produce fractals are continuously seeded with the results
of the preceding calculation, and thus produce great variety within
recognizable boundaries, so may you find an infinity of detail structured
upon thematic similarities in this art work.
What makes these paintings human is the metaphoric context
layered onto them by the artist and observer. As they interact with our
minds, such paintings become poetic and mythic. Hidden within this beauty
is a meditation upon both the macrocosm and microcosm. The range
of creative force encompassing both the birth of stars and
galaxies, as well as permeating the mother whose ultimate creation
is her offspring. Fractals both resemble and differ from the
parent. Similarity and difference are archetypal qualities of
all the creations of the universe, be they inanimate or quite
alive. These qualities forever co-exist to fascinate and challenge us.
It Remains To Be Seen
It remains to be seen whether
stars will burn forever
in an expanding universe
or if black holes are
sucking tunnels of antimatter
imploding upon themselves
in an ever-continuing
spiral towards infinity.
And if the end is imminent,
will intelligent life
be there to witness
the cyclic birth of new universes
beyond the horizons of infinity,
or will we collectively
have already passed sentence
on our own worlds?
But it still remains to be seen whether
flesh and blood
are universal commodities
or if the mind's eye can perceive
the deities who dictate form
as whims of surreal dreams
in a level of reality
that precludes our own existence.
Maybe the reality is found
in the mythos of unborn souls
considering rebirth, floating
through the ethos like fairies,
creating our existence
from dewdrops on petals
and laughing as we contemplate
the thought.

RELEASES SCHEDULED FOR 1995 AND BEYOND!
Reality Software is now releasing a series of screen savers
whose theme is antique transportation. Each registered version will
contain 15 royalty free, 8 bit TIF images in 256 grey scale. These
photographs are rare: most exist as single prints made by photographers
many, many decades ago, some more than a century old. These archival
images are of extraordinary interest, to historians, hobbyists and
design professionals. The majority have never been published before in
any medium and their intrinsic interest is exceptional. The originals
comprise our personal collection which took many years to accumulate.
This series offers you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a
collection of the rarest transportation photography which is truly of
museum quality. Except for an occasional old stereo card, there is no
possibility that you would see any of these prints in the public
marketplace. Each individual photograph has been meticulously
restored to remove negative and print damages while maintaining
the historical integrity of the image.
1) Two collections which feature 19th century locomotives were
released in late 1994: several more are planned for 1995. There
are no duplicate photos among the collections. See catalog.txt.
2) In early 1995 we released the first of several screen savers
which feature classic sailing ships such as 19th century
schooners. The format will remain the same: each volume contains
15 different, royalty free images.
3) In 1996, we plan to publish screen savers that feature
archival photography of early trolley cars, electric trains,
bicycles, late 19th and early 20th century warships and early
aviation.
The format of each registered product will remain the same: 15
superb, royalty free images for $15. Stock photo agencies
typically charge license fees in excess of $100 for commercial
use of their images. There will be no duplicate photos throughout
our entire collection of archival transportation screen savers.
