2098.1Ultimate Sailing ScreensaverPOWDML::HOFri Dec 30 1994 09:187
    There was something I saw (or imagined) while Christmas shoppingstmat
    about a screensaver with pictures from the Ultimate Sailing 
    Calendar.
    
    Anyone else see this?  If so, do you remember how to get it?
    
    
2098.2I like mineSTAR::KENNEYFri Dec 30 1994 10:3119
    
    	Yup I have it, it is more than a screen saver.  It has a slide
    viewer, wall paper changing capability, and a jumble puzzle.  Cost if
    $15 for the first 22 images, and $13 for all other images.  Call
    Windward productions at 203-254-3033.  The screen collections are:
    
    	Ultimate Screen Saver
    	Thrills & chills
    	Flying Colors
    
    	It burns about 4Mb, 2Mb for the software to driver everything, and
    another 2Mb for images.  They are 256 color high images and look quite
    nice.  I have it on my notebook at work, and it can only do 16 colors
    so the images are not all that dramatic.  Still a nice screen save and
    the price is not unreasonable.  I am thinking of getting the Thrills
    and Chills images.

    I also got it. It really needs a S-VGA color screen to impress you. On
    a VGA monitor it is really snowy.
    
    It also eats a cpu when decompessing images, so you really want to
    extend the time between changing wallpaper. This is esspecially true
    on a small 386 type machine.
    
    It any of you come to the confab in a couple of weeks, you can see it first
    hand on my home machine.
