- Magic Eight Ball for Windows
- Version 1.0
-
- Just as the title indicates, this is a version of the famed mystic oracle
- device in an easy-to-use Windows format.
-
- Directions are sheer simplicity:
-
- 1) Ask the Eight Ball a question that can be answered with "Yes" or "No"
- 2) Click the button to invoke hidden prophetic Windows routines normally
- reserved for deciding if your machine will lock up or not. The responses
- are generated randomly, just like a REAL Magic Eight Ball (hereafter
- referred to as an "Analog Magic Eight Ball".
- 3) Behold the myserious prophecies of this wondrous orb!
- 4) Keep doing it as long as you want! You'll get tired of prophesizing long
- before the Eight Ball will!
-
- Unlike an analog Magic Eight Ball, you can "weight" the M8B for Windows. By
- choosing from the "8Ball" menu, you can make your ball more optimistic,
- pessimistic, or noncommittal, depending on your mood.
-
- Of course, the M8B is intended for amusement purposes only. The writer
- of this program assumes no liability whatsoever for decisions made under the
- influence of the M8B.
-
- The M8B is freeware, mostly because I think I'd get sued to my skivvies
- if I tried to accept money. However, it is also free because it's a silly
- one-trick pony of a program.

-
- If only other shareware creators could see that expecting $20 for a program
- that does only one dinky, albeit useful thing is a little ridiculous, this
- world would be a better place.
