Fill his or her screen with pictures of yourself or keep your own
computer busy with your favorite pictures and sounds.  We will 
turn your (or scan your pictures) and sounds into a personal 
screensaver.  Clear your desk and make a saver with pictures of 
yourself, a favorite other, family members, friends, co-workers, 
your favorite pet or pictures from your library.  You may download
a sample saver at http://moushous.com/ or request "panorama.zip" 
by e-mail.

The pers.nal screensaver [available for PC compatible only] may 
contain up to 100 images (max 640 X 480 pixels - 7" X 5") with as
many as 100 different sound (wav) files.  Sound files (limited to
250 kb each) and animations must be sent to us on electronic
medium (via e-mail attachment or floppy disc).  We will scan
photographs for a small additional charge (photos returned with
screensaver).

We CAN NOT create screensavers with copyrighted materials or 
materials which are not royalty-free.  We therefore must require
of you a signed statement to the effect that the pictures, sounds,
etc. which you send us for use in your screensaver are your 
property.  You may fax or mail the statement with other materials
or separately.  Your screensaver will be shipped first-class mail
on 3.5 floppy discs.  Whe you order, be sure to tell us the
number of graphics (or pictures) and/or megabytes of animations 
to be used in the screensaver.  With your invoice, you will receive
detailed information explaining how to send us your materials.

Prices are listed below:

Basic screensaver..............................$ 4.95
Each picture (sound included).............add..$ 1.00
Animations (per megabyte).................add..$ 1.00
Scanning (per picture)....................add..$ 1.00
  * Maximum size 7 X 5
  * Price is introductory offer with screensaver only.
  * Quality of scan is contingent upon quality of photo.

To order:

  * Send e-mail message to blndmice@pa.net.  Enter 1000S in the 
    subject (or body).  We will send you an invoice by e-mail
    containing payment information with a section explaining how
    to send us pictures, sounds, etc.  Purchase your Pers.nal
    Screensaver before January 31, 1996 and receive you own
    personal home page on MousHous for two full months absolutely
    FREE.  Don't delay.  Order today.

Payment methods:

    We will accept your check by phone or e-mail, ship C.O.D. 
    (a $5.00 C.O.D. charge will be added) or accept your check
    or money order by U.S. Postal.  We do not accept credit card
    simply because we at The Three Blind Mice do not feel 
    justified in selling to folks who cannot afford our products.
    While this sometimes costs us sales, it never costs us sleep.
    Thank you for your interest in The Three Blind Mice.

A personal note:

    We are not censors.  What you have in your screensaver is
    your business.  However, if your material is of an adult
    nature, we may have to require of you a statement to the
    effect that you are of legal age to view such materials.
    Please do not take offense should we do so.  We do it only
    for our own protection.  Thanks in advance for your 
    understanding.
