    LAVA - Screen Designs and Backlight Control for the Newton

                          21 day free demo

**********************************************************************

This is release 2 of Lava, a compact and complete solution for making the backlight on the Newton function much more effectively.  This is what it does: 

     Turns the backlight on when the Newton is turned on. 
     Backlight switches off after a period of inactivity. 
     Backlight automatically switches back on when you tap anywhere on the screen. 
     Animated screen designs can be drawn during system inactivity. 
     All settings are completely under your control. 

By not making you fumble with the power switch every time you want the backlight on, Lava makes timeouts of 15 and 30 seconds completely usable, thereby extending the life of your batteries and the brightness of the backlight itself.

For Newton 2.0 or newer.  Takes only 14K of storage when installed.  21 day free demo.

You can purchase Lava for $10 directly over the internet by going to:

http://order.kagi.com/?32

Or you can send a check or money order for 10 US dollars drawn on a US bank to: 

     Hayes Haugen 
     PO Box 31518 
     Seattle, WA  98103-1518 

You MUST include your name exactly as it is spelled in the Owner Info application!  This needs to be in first name, last name order (Joe Smith, Hayes Haugen, Groucho Marx, etc).  You will be e-mailed a code that will unlock Lava, removing the 21 day time limit and messages that ask you to pay for the software. 

If you need the program on a Macintosh or Windows/DOS disc (specify which) add $5 ($10 for international addresses).

You can send cash, but completely at your own risk - sometimes it does 'disappear' on its way from you to me.

Don't forget to include your address or e-mail address.
