R: The ten icons in this set had never been released to the public before. That explains the icon set name.
Why?
R: Simply because lately the icon community has gone dormant.. It seems no one is doing nothing relevant, neither am I... :D Besides, I hope this submission to Xicons.com makes some talented people wake up and restart making good icons... this ones are... not that good.
Why do I say that some of this icons are "not that good"?
R: Well, some of them are simply bad. A major part of them has no 8-bit resources, that means you can't use them in systems prior to MacOS 8.5. Others were photoshop tests, like the opera icons. Some others are based in "artwork" that I'm simply ashamed of, like the evolution icon, a modification of a ugly set I sended to iconfactory's pixelpalooza in the begining of this year (I obviously got a nice last place on the OS X category :) ) .
Could I made this icons better?
R: Sure, but I don't have time for it nor I want to.
Are they all original?
R: They are all 100% original with the exception of the prodigy icons (based in the logo of the techno band "The Prodigy", my all-time favorit band) and the super-fly icon (the original artwork was taken from joecartoon.com - you have to see his flash animations, very, very joe).
Can you distribute them or use them in your webpage, cd, or any other place?
R: Of course, but remember two things; they might be bad but they are mine, so give me credit for them :) and second, they are free. This means you are not alowed to earn money from them. If you find any of this icons good for an app you're developing or a cd, or anything like that please inform me. I'll also be glad to help you if you need an icon done. As for distribution, you must always include this readme in the original .sit.hqx.
Were can you contact me?
R: pafmax@clix.pt. This is my e-mail, you're absolutley free to send me your comments, fundamented critics, suggestions, etc.
Final question, why did I made this absurd readme?
R: Ah! The key question. I'm quite busy right now with my final college exams. So, I though that making a readme like a questionnaire would be a nice thing. Now I realize that it's not, and that you're probaby thinking I'm insane but... aren't we all? Anyway it's original.
