Hi, thanks for downloading the Cannabinatic Screensaver !

-WHAT'S THIS ? ------------------------------------------------

The enclosed public release of the Cannabinatic Screensaver
shows interesting looks (4 animated and 4 non-animated types
of hemp-leafs moving before 7 different backgrounds) and facts
(85 out of thousands arguments, facts and quotes) about a
Miracle Drug known as "Hemp".

-WHY THAT ? ---------------------------------------------------

Cannabis / Hemp is really something special - on one hand it's
one of the most versatile natural products of the world -
on the other hand it's also one of the most scaring substances -
we all know really frightning stories about it, don't we ?

The official discussion about this plant often has (in my eyes)
nothing to do with reality, but more with "if we admit it's
more or less harmless, we will make a fool of ourselves because
of the stories we told them for nearly 100 yrs. now..."

To insert some FACTS in the discussion and to inform people
about some things they might never have heard before, I started
to create this ScreenSaver one day. I hope it will be one more
raindrop in the international liberation campaign to start a
heavy rainshower one day - after which legal, self-determined use
of natural substances doesn't bring you into jail and doesn't
kill your carreer for NOTHING anymore.


One word to the Drug-Police and all those hobby-lawyers:
No, I won't be surprised if the police visits me for some type
of "routine check" ... because I know about your use of raising
your "success statistics", I'm not silly enough to store any
hemp at my home or even my office... ;-)


- REGISTERING: ----------------------------------------------------

There also exists another version of the Cannabinatic ScreenSaver:
if you honor my programming efforts by paying USD 9,-, you will
receive a "special edition" of it by e-mail. It will enable you to

- display your own pictures, animations, logos ..
- display your own backgrounds ..
- ..and configure *how* to show the background
  (Tiled, Centered, Stretched)
- define your own messages, information banners, ..
- ..or suppress all those messages shown in the Freeware version ..
- configure the speed of moving leafs ..
- display one more leaf-type (evt.planned) ?
- configure which leaf to show permanently
- define a smooth fading background (like in most setup screens)
- define all properties of displayed text (Font, Color, direction,..)
- and more. There are even more features to come.

Please contact me if you'd like to get this version. If I could
decide, I'd prefer CASH by regular mail. You can also register
ONLINE where most credit cards are accepted by just by visiting
https://www.evergreen-networks.com/register/100/104c.htm .
(if your Browser doesn't support secure transactions, just
replace "https" with "http").
However, you may use the freeware-version as long and on as
many computers you like.
