BIT JUGGLERS SHIPS UNDERWARE
The fun of a screen saver while you work.

Mountain View, California, September 17, 1993 - Bit Jugglers, Inc. today
announced the first shipments of UnderWare, a new Macintosh software
product that combines traditional screen-saving capabilities with desktop
animation and desktop pattern customization.

"And I thought I'd seen everything that could be done to make a Macintosh
more fun. Once again Macintosh is the computer to smile for," said Guy
Kawasaki, Macintosh pundit and Bit Jugglers board member.

UnderWare provides three modes:

1) Dynamic Desktop. This mode runs UnderWare's animated modules and After
Dark modules on the Macintosh desktop. The difference between UnderWare's
Dynamic Desktop and traditional screen savers is that UnderWare runs while
the computer is being used-under your windows and icons-while products
like After Dark only run when a computer is asleep. Thus, with UnderWare
it is possible for users to see Flying Toasters running on their desktop.

2) Screen Saver. This mode runs UnderWare and After Dark modules as
conventional screen savers. Screen saver modules run on top of the screen,
blanking out layers underneath and preventing screen burn in. UnderWare
adds more to the conventional screen saver: animation that interacts with
your Macintosh environment. UnderWare knows the location of icons and
windows on the desktop, so animation can include scenes like a
fire-breathing dragon melting your trash can, footballs bouncing off your
icons, and folders standing up and walking off your screen.

3) Desktop Pattern. Marble, oak paneling, water drops and barn siding are
just a few of the custom desktop patterns users can choose from with
UnderWare. Users can choose from a wide assortment of included patterns,
or add their own patterns to UnderWare.

UnderWare includes over twenty five professionally designed animation
modules including:

-Dinosaurs walking through a prehistoric landscape 
-Files, folders, and icons sprouting legs and running off 
 the screen 
-A robber burrowing into your Macintosh and stealing microchips
-Butterflies flying across your desktop 
-A congenial fire breathing dragon melting your trash can 
-A San Francisco cityscape with moving trolley cars and people 
-A Yosemite Valley scene with flowing waterfalls and floating
 clouds 
-Footballs, basketballs and more bouncing in three dimensional
 space 
-Icons rocketing into orbit 
-Rubber chickens flying in formation

UnderWare provides a user-configurable System Activity Monitor that checks
to see if your Macintosh is busy with background activities such as
network access or print jobs. This prevents module animation from
interfering with your work. UnderWare is a control panel device. It
requires at least a 68020 Macintosh, 4 MB of RAM and System 7.

The suggested retail price of UnderWare is $59.95.
