Wilderness Dreams
     A screensaver from Forward Design, cost $14.95

              Reviewed and enjoyed by Sue

Though screensavers aren't necessary to stop monitor burn on
modern machines, there is something much nicer about looking at a
saver than staring at your regular screen display. If I'm working,
and want to have a think, a good screen saver will soothe and
relax me!  And when I go to walk the dog, I prefer to leave a
saver running and see it when I get back.

I'm always on the look out for a good screensaver and I found a
demo of Wilderness Dreams on the Net. Confusingly, two other
screensavers from the same firm, Northern Lights and Enchanted
Forest, are the same program ... Forward Design say "different
names are used for different markets" but they don't say why! The
demo is quick to download, being only 886K in size. I tried it,
liked it and decided to buy it. This was very easily accomplished
with secure ordering and my trusty Barclaycard; Forward Design
quickly email the complete version to you. I LOVE ordering over
the Net!

So, why do I like this saver so much? Basically, it's very simple
but flexible. It draws a fractal forest on your screen but you can
pick the number and species of trees (oak, birch and/or pine),
time of day (afternoon, sunset or evening) and season (spring,
autumn or winter). You can also choose to have falling or settled
snow, and even add Christmas lights to the trees! The background
is of rolling hills with flowers speckled through the grass. You
can select a random option for a complete surprise of what
settings you get!

It is this versatility, both in terms of the settings and the
variable nature of fractals themselves that makes me enjoy this
screensaver so much.
