Pyro! 4.0 is $22 at MacConnection.  If you already own Pyro!, you can
upgrade to 4.0 for $15 or you can switch to After Dark 1.1 for the
same price.  See MacWEEK 6 March 1990, page 10, "Berkeley Systems woos
Pyro! owners." If you don't get MacWEEK, call Berkeley at
415-540-5535 to ask about switching.

Pyro! 4.0 and After Dark are also extensible.  Time to revive that old
Dali Clock...
