 Advertising Blurb!
 =================


   This is just what you need. Really! 

   Ever found yourself staring at that dull old 
 Windows screen wondering just what could help 
 you out of this bland background depression?
                    
   Ever wondered why your World Wide Web page 
 just ain't drawing the crowds like you know it 
 deserves?
                    
   Growing oh-so-tired of creating that same old 
 '3 metallic spheres surrounded by a chess-board 
 landscape' on your favourite 3D package?



 So what is the Solution?
 =======================


   What you need is a superb selection of 100x100 
 256 colour Windows Bitmaps. 

   50 varied, weird and wild enchanting patterns 
 tile seamlessly to create interesting, yet stylish
 screen-fulls of pure joy.

 (I should have been in marketing!)



 Okay, you've convinced me. How much does it cost?
 ================================================


   Well, Brain Soup comes under one of those funny
 little terms that ends with '-ware'. No corporate
 license insisting you stop using Brain Soup after
 30 days have passed. You can happily use every 
 single one of these backgrounds for the rest of
 your natural life and not even send a penny.

   But, if you feel that you've really got some use
 out of Brain Soup and that you think the artist
 who tirelessly created them deserves encouragement
 then please send 5 UKP (or your countries 
 equivalent) to the address at the bottom of this
 document.


 
 And the catch is?
 ================


   No catch, just a couple of guidelines.


 1> The Brain Soup Collection should in no way be
    altered or manipulated. 

 2> If you decide to use a Brain Soup background
    on your WWW page, please place an attribution
    to the Collection somewhere on your page. (In a
    smallish font, near the bottom would be fine).

 3> If you do use any of the Brain Soup Collection 
    or you just have a few suggestions or feedback
    feel free to contact me by Email. I'd love to
    see your WWW page where you've used Brain
    Soup.

 
   
 Notes.
 =====


   The Brain Soup backgrounds were created using a 
 PC computer running a mix of Deluxe Paint Enhanced
 and Adobe Photoshop 3. Both excellent packages and
 come extremely recommended by me. 

   If there is enough interest in Brain Soup, and
 I dig up some more wacky image manipulation tools
 then there may be further Brain Soup Collections
 so if there is anything you want to see, put your
 suggestions forward now. 

   Donations of small image manipulation tools will
 be happily accepted :-)
