<b>From the first release posting:</b><br>
<br>
</font><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Alpha
Paint is a sophisticated Windows paint application to
draw and manage graphics with full alpha transparency.
It will create:<br>
</font>
<ul>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Professional
web page images</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Eye-catching
effects for social media</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Killer
graphics for PowerPoint presentations</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Titles
for videos</font></li>
</ul>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">...and pretty
much anything else that requires leading-edge art and
transparency.<br>
<br>
In addition, it can create and edit Windows icons.<br>

use and it won't require that you get involved with
complicated mathematics, higher-order spatial
dimensions or a manual that requires more than one
human lifetime to read. <br>
<br>
Anyone with sufficient eye-hand coordination to
successfully operate a web browser should be able to
master Alpha Paint in under an hour.<br>

We invite you to download an evaluation copy of Alpha
Paint and try it out. Click on the huge blue button.<br>

<p>We'd like to thank everyone who's e-mailed over the
past few years to ask when there would be a new novel
by Steven William Rimmer.</p>
<p>It's here, and it's available in e-book and paperback
editions through Amazon.<br>
</p>
<p>Please click on the big blue button, below, to find
out more about it.<br>
</p>
<p>We've been instructed to mention that there are no
actual dragons therein, in that dragons, while
mythical and cool, don't really exist.</p>
