Noisy Video Poker for Windows is a very fun and very beautiful
simulation of the video poker machines you find in casinos.

Besides very realistic sounds like coins dropping into a metal tray
(just like at the casinos) there are a variety of wacky sounds that
play randomly when you don't have a winning hand. These sounds
really add to the entertainment value of this program, but what
really sets this game apart from others is the graphics and user
interface. You can play this game with a minimum of mouse clicks
which allows you to play rally fast. And the cards! Unlike a lot
of other poker games you may have seen, the cards in this game look
completely real.
When you order Noisy Video Poker for Windows, you can get Noisy
Video BlackJack for Windows for only $5 extra. That's a savings of
$15 since both games are $20 each when purchased separately.

HOT BUTTON for WINDOWS
----------------------
HOT Button for Windows is one of the most usefull programs you will
ever use. The idea behind HOT Button was to create a collection of
frequently needed utilities and programs and organize them in a way
that would make it easy for you to get to them quickly. Once you
begin using HOT Button, you will want to open it up and move it to
a corner of your Windows screen each time you go into Windows.
When opened, HOT Button takes up very little screen space (just a
little bigger than an icon). Leaving HOT Button opened in this way
also takes up a minimum of your Windows resources. When you
realize how useful HOT Button is, you will always want to have it
handy.
The small HOT Button opening window has four tiny buttons. The
first button is a file viewer. Click on it to view graphic files
(icons, bitmaps, .GIF, .PCX, .WMF, .TIF), spreadsheet files (Lotus
1-2-3, Excel, Quattro), Database files (dBASE, FoxPro, Access,
Paradox, Works), word processor documents (Word, Word Perfect, AMI
Pro, WinWord, Works, QA Write), text files, binary files, and even
a listing of the files contained in a compressed file (.ZIP, .LZH).
You can view files individually or as part of a self-running
slideshow. You can view a whole directory of icons at one time.
You can view "thumbnails" of a whole directory of bitmap images and
then enlarge a bitmap to full size with a single mouse click. The
file viewer alone would make HOT Button a very useful utility for
any Windows user, but there's a whole lot more!
Click the second button to bring up the HOT Button Disk Utilities.
This is a collection of frequently needed file and disk utilities.
Use the HOT Button Disk Utilities to copy, rename, delete, edit,
search for, and view information about files on your hard and
floppy drives. There is also a pop-up diskette format utility
which will format either high or low-density diskettes in your
floppy drives.
Click on the third button to bring up the HOT Button WAV and MIDI
Sound File Player. If you have a sound card, you will find the WAV
player very useful. You can load and play a single sound file or
automatically play all the .WAV or .MID files in an entire
directory. The WAV player also has a repeat function, so you can
automatically play a sound (or a whole directory of sound files)
over and over.
Click on the fourth button to bring up the HOT Button Audio CD
Player. This is a programmable CD system. The CD player can
automatically detect an inserted CD that you have previously
programmed. You can save the names of tracks and a play list of up
to 50 songs. Your play list may include any or all of the tracks
on the CD in any sequence you choose.
One other useful feature of HOT Button is the built-in digital
clock. When you open HOT Button, the tiny opening window includes
a digital clock which updates itself every minute. If you move the
mouse pointer over the HOT Button window, the display toggles
between the time and date. Even if you minimize the HOT Button
window (which you probably don't need to do since it is so small)
it continues to update and display the current time.
o HOT Button $25
