This ElectronicGreetingCard™ is a Graduation Day card that allows the user to enter the name of the person they are sending this E-Card™ to as well as the sender's name. When this application is first opened it will display an animated Graduation Day window. Click on it and it will close itself and open a second window with a very wise saying plus a recorded sound. Click on it and it will close itself and open a third window with a text edit field in it. This is where you can leave a message. It will automatically be saved when you click the go-away box. This will then bring up the "Settings" dialog box(window). This is where you enter the name of the person that you are sending the card to, as well as your own name. Of course, any title or name will work. You can at this point set the recorded sound that was played on the second window to what you desire. Click on the Record Sound button and the sound-record dialog box will be displayed. Click on record, record and save your sound. Remember that long sounds take up a lot of memory. When you click the Save button you will hear what your sound sounds like. Then click on the OK button and the information on the four windows will be saved. The application will also quit. The next time the application (E-Card™) is opened, it will present all of the name/title options that you have previously selected as well as your new recorded sound at the end of the second (poem/wise saying) window. If you want to record a long sound message, change the application memory size in the get info box. If some of the E-Card features don't seem to work right, increase the application memory size. Make sure the monitor is set to 256 colors. 16 may also work. This E-Card™ is intended to be sent by either putting it on a disk and mailing it, or by sending it over the phone line to a person's BBS (electronic) mail box.

This is just the beginning of a whole line of E-Cards™. Look for the Birthday card that has already been uploaded. I just finished a "Have a Great Day" E-Card also. I am a 47 year old private piano teacher trying to break into the world of Mac programming. It's not easy. I am totally self-taught. I am also totally broke after buying my new Macintosh Performa 475. (thank God for plastic) Please help me to continue my programming efforts by supporting this shareware. You pay for paper greeting cards that can't do half of what mine do, and you can only use them once! You may freely distribute this E-Card™ as long as this Read Me file is included. This card will be partially disabled as of 6/1/94. You will not be able to change the names/titles option.
