Bubbles you seek hmm?
Another there is.


1) What is Bubbles... ?
-----------------------
Bubbles... is a screen saver. Certified to waste processor time whilst stopping
phosphor burn. Mostly it's just a waste of time and something pretty to look at when 
you're meant to be working..


2) It has a history?
--------------------
Not in the sense that it's been round the block a few times and would be best avoided,
but that this is a new super spangled edition of something released unto the public
a number years ago. The first version was released on the AtariST, and it's about time
the "world of PC" had a version!


3) Why write a new version?
---------------------------
My job entails that I spend a -LOT- of time compiling and staring at Developer Studio.
Now whilst this may be what I'm meant to do, it sure is mighty boring to look at a
couple of lines of output window change every now and again. And when you're average
full rebuild time is about half-an-hour, it gets mind numbing!
Hence a new version of Bubbles...


4) Bugs and cockups
-------------------
There may be many, there may be none. Roll the dice, pick a straw, buy your ticket
and see what happens..
The password stuff might not work, I can't see any reson why not, but I've not actually
tested it yet. (I'll leave that up to you!)
WinBlows 2000 works fine (so far!)


5) Thanks to..
--------------
Many many many thanks to Ed Halley who originally created the C++ classes that enabled
me to get the damned thing working!


6) SHAREWARE?
-------------
Don't be daft! Think of this as 'giftware'..
