 @{fg fill}Mastermind@{fg text} is requested by S.Rittau.
 @{fg fill}PicCon @{fg text}is distributed with PicCon250.lha (AN:gfx/conv) and drawn by Niels
     J
rgensen. Mine is only cut to standard size.
 @{fg fill}Network, FAX@{fg text} and @{fg fill}AntiVirus@{fg text} are adapted from XEN's original brushes.
     Requested by R.Harris, D.Lauger and D.Dustin.
 @{fg fill}Enterprise:@{fg text} This one is dedicated to Trevor Morris (Hi Trevor!).
 @{fg fill}SimpsonGuide:@{fg text} This is for the O.J.Simpson Guide program by Manfred Huber,
     which can be found in Aminet:docs/misc (Update!). The icon is drawn pixel
     by pixel from scratch (using a small photo of O.J.). - These are the ones
     which are very time consuming to create...
 @{fg fill}FinalData:@{fg text} For all Non-Trekkies out there (are there any??): This guy is
     an android called "Data" (Brent Spiner), a member of the StarTrek TNG

@NODE "def" "Default Disk Icons"
 The ability to use these different default disk icons for different file
 systems (so you can recognize the file system used by a disk by just looking
 at its icon) is possible if you use @{" DefIcons " SYSTEM "RIGuide/Sound RIGuide/Yeah.8svx q"}, which is part of the @{" NewIcons " SYSTEM "RIGuide/Sound RIGuide/Booh.8svx q"}
 package.
 When DefIcons is installed, disks without a disk.info file will use the icons
 named def_XXXXdisk.info, where XXXX is the file system DosType; for example
 def_DOS0disk.info for Amiga disks and def_MSD0disk.info for MS-DOS disks.
 The NewIcons package can be found on Aminet: util/wb/NewIcons.lha

 Thank you very much for your cards and suggestions!

@NODE "Contest" "Great prize to win!"
 @{b}YOU can win...@{ub}
 a "new" (approx. 10 hours used), completely functional @{" Commodore A2024 " LINK "A2024"} High
 Resolution Monitor for the Amiga (including printed User's Guide, Jumpstart
 Disk, Video- and Power Cable).
 YOU may say I am completely gone @{" MAD " SYSTEM "RIGuide/Sound RIGuide/Mad.8svx q"}, but I simply don't use it because
 of the lacking colors - so MagicWB looks a bit strange (although there is a
 patch available on Aminet). If you do a lot of word processing or similar
 things with your Amiga, the A2024 is a good choice. (end of commercial)
 All you have to do is to select a number between 1,000.000 and 9,999.999
 (in words:  one million  and  nine millions nine...) AND solve the @{" puzzle " LINK "puzzle"}.
 Write your number together with the right answer of the puzzle on a postcard
 (which shows a picture of your hometown) and send it to @{" my adress " LINK "Contact"}.
 Emails are not accepted.
 @{b}THE CONTEST ENDS ON 31st of May 1995.@{ub}
 The one who comes closest to the "magic" number and has given the correct
 puzzle solution wins.
 I will contact the winner on the day mentioned above.
 The name and full address of the winner, the "magic" number (and how I got
 it) and the puzzle solution will be announced in the @{" RomIcons " SYSTEM "RIGuide/Sound RIGuide/Yeah.8svx q"} released
 after 31-May-95.
 @{b}IMPORTANT:@{ub}
 Don't forget your full name and address. An email address should also be
 included, if possible.
 Only ONE number per card (but you are not limited in cards!)
 The winner will have to pay the shipping costs (or you may visit me and take
 the prize with you - if your're not from New Zealand :-) ).
 The Power Supply needs 230 VAC, 50 Hz (Europe!)
 I cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by the prize. For example,
 if you manage to drown your pet @{" goldfish " SYSTEM "RIGuide/Sound RIGuide/Bubbles.8svx q"} using the monitor (hi Wouter!) -
 I will not buy you a new one.
@ENDNODE
@NODE "16col" "16 col. MagicWB"
 'XEN' did not do (or release) anything for a long time...
 but everyone is waiting for a 16 color MagicWB - aren't we?
 - creating Icons would be much easier (you can convert pics using tools like
   HAMLab, ADPro,...)
 - great background pics are possible
 - use converted NewIcons (but they are ugly anyway :->
 - ...
 So here is my suggestion to expand the existing MWB colors:
 color#    red    green   blue                 _
   0       149     149    149    grey           |

   3        59     103    162    blue          _|
   4       123     123    123    dark grey      |
   5       175     175    175    bright grey    |_ 4 MagicWB colors by XEN
   6       170     144    124    brown          |

 @{" Click here " SYSTEM "Multiview RIGuide/16ColWB.LBM SCREEN"} to see a screenshot sample.
 Col# 8 is the 'Bluebox' color for MagicCopper (to stay compatibel)
 Col# 9 is needed to bridge the gap between blue and black
 Col#10: everyone knows that green was missing...but it don't has to be too
            intense!
 Col#11: same as #10
 Col#12-14: - send comments!
 Col#15: Red is the last color, because it is taken for the cursor.
 Remember: This is ONLY a suggestion, comments, critics are welcome.
 Steps to install them on your system (if you like):
  1. Change your screenmode to 16 colors.
  2. Load the User-Startup into your editor and change the MagicWB-Daemon to:
     Run >NIL: C:MagicWB-Demon 4,123,123,123 5,175,175,175 6,170,144,124
               7,255,169,151 8,0,0,255 9,40,62,91 10,96,128,96 11,226,209,119
  3. Do the same with your Startup-Sequence
  4. Load Prefs/Palette and change the last four colors to 255,212,203;
     122,96,72; 210,210,210; 229,93,93
 MUI applications look strange without re-arranging the brush colors.

 @{b}The Puzzle:@{ub}
 Smith, Robinson and Jones are fireman, brakesman and engine-driver of a train,
 but NOT in this succession. On the same train are three businessmen with the
 same names: Mr.Smith, Mr.Robinson and Mr.Jones.
 1. Mr.Robinson lives in Detroit.
 2. The brakesman lives exactly in the middle between Chicago and Detroit.
 3. Mr.Jones earns 20.000 Dollar per year.
 4. The nearest neighbour of the breakesman is one of the businessmen, and he
    earns exactly three times as much as the breakesman.
 5. Smith beates the fireman in the billiards game.
 6. The businessman who has the same name as the brakesman, lives in Chicago.
 What is the name of the engine-driver?
 Hints: This is no kind of joke!
        EVERY 6 points are important!
