BYTES: ONE DAY AT A TIME
With all the free advice out there, do we really need our
screen savers putting their two cents in? Sure, why not, especially
if it's a Day-Savor Screen-A-Day-Calendar from
KaizenWorks Publishing. Combining the $30 million"one-page-per-day"
calendar business with the current motivational craze and some
hip humor, KaizenWorks has created a screen saver line that displays
a different image and message each day, be it astrology, trivia,
jokes, and now 365 Daily
Servings of Chicken Soup for the Soul.

and seconds remaining until the new millennium. The software
also includes 500 facts and quotes about this historic event,
as well as full-screen images, music, political issues, religious
beliefs, scientific data and humorous musings.

SANTA'S GRAB BAG
A FEW LAST-MINUTE CALENDARS AND SIDELINE SUGGESTIONS
FOR THE SPRING
Just when you thought or hoped that
calendar season was coming to a close, KaizenWorks of Santa Monica,
Calif., has created Day-Savor Screen-A-Day Calendar, the cyber
cousin to the ubiquitous page-per-day desktop calendar. Day-Savor,
which can be sold as fresh goods any time of year because it
is perpetual, automatically greets you each day with a new message,
accompanied by themed full-screen images, music and, of course,
the date. The daily image and statement can also be printed out
(in letter or greeting-card format), faxed or e-mailed along
with a personal note to friends or associates. Day-Savor can
be customized by changing font colors, sizes and styles or by
adding your own picture, messages and music. Included in the
software is a mini-calendar manager for appointments and reminders.
Another notable feature is the Mini-Note function, in which the
daily message is displayed in the corner of the screen for continued
viewing.
Day-Savor messages and images tend toward the inspirational,
motivational or educational. The company now offers nine titles,
which include Golfer's Daily:
365 Quotes, Quips & Tips; Sixty-Second
Smart: 365 Days of fun, Facts & Trivia; Worth Repeating: 365 famous Quotes to Inspire
You Each Day; Winning: 365
Motivational Business Quotes; Astrology
1997/1998: 365 Daily Horoscopes for Every Sign; and Diet-Free Forever: 365 Tips for Staying Lean
& Healthy. Others cover biblical and
spiritual topics. The line has won four
awards in the 1997 World
Calendar Awards and the National Calendar Awards competitions.
Day-Savor comes as a 3.5 inch diskette niftily packaged with
the gift market in mind.

DAILY, BUT NOT ROUTINE
Last year when you turned on your computer after installing
Day-Savor, an electronic version of the popular page-per-day
calendar, what you got amounted to no more than sweet
little somethings for the screen.
The program, like the actual calendar that resides on many
desks, previously provided daily inspiration, tidbits and encouragement
on your virtual desktop.
The series of PC cyber calendars, unleashed for the first
time on CD-ROM, now offers a lot more.
For one, there's a lot more variety, including Diet-Free Forever (365 tips for staying lean
and healthy), That's Funny!
(365 lines from your favorite comedians), Golfer's
Daily (quips and tips), 60-Second
Smart (trivia), even Jeopardy!
and Chicken Soup for the
Soul versions.
The software also comes with more substance and function. There is a daily planner,
though it will be upstaged by the daily missives if you already
are wedded to a PC planner. Greeting cards, featuring dramatic
art grabs from the dailies, can be constructed with only a few
simple strokes and commands. Also add your own pictures, words
and music to the daily page backgrounds and get an instant screen
saver.
Day-Savor calendars are easy to set up and, unlike the real-life
counterpart, are perpetual. Your computer does the flipping automatically
for you.

DAY BY DAY
Some computer software ideas are better left on paper (3M's
Post-it software, for example), but others are convenient time-savers
we love from multimedia products. Day-Savor Screen-A-Day-Calendar
certainly fits the bill. It functions like many of the flip-up
calendars that sit on our desks for days before we notice they
need changing. The computer, however, automatically flips Day-Savor
Calendars with each new day. The software, easily loaded from
two diskettes, is timed by the clock from your PC. It uses only
2 percent of your computer's memory. Each day you turn on your
machine, you're greeted with a new full-screen image containing
a message, music and the date. Day-Savor calendars, like their
per-day cousins, come in several categories, including daily horoscopes,
affirmations,
famous quotes, Bible versus and angel
messages.

TREND TRACKING
One of the many up-and-comers of the computer era, screen
savors offer a unique gift alternative for consumers. Current
screen-saver selections are geared more toward the trend set
than the tech set, designed with mind-catching themes and eye-catching
packaging. Skeptical? Think of it this way: there are a lot of
computers in the world, and every computer has a screen to save
... Not another reference to the millennium! Well maybe
just one more.
Screen-A-Day-Calendar screen savers from KaizenWorks Publishing
310.577.8660 come in astrology,
famous quotes, angels, trivia,
sports, and a Millennium 2000
Countdown Clock.

ASTROLOGY SCREEN SAVORS
A very new astrological product that will catch the fancy
of computers users is a new screen saver program called the DaySavor
Astrology (KaizenWorks
Publishing, 1223 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 320, Santa Monica, CA
90403, 310.577.8660. At its basic best, this screen saver flashes
two different images every single day, each illustrated by full-screen
color graphics. On start-up, it shows a personal message for
the birth sing stipulated by the user, and after sever minutes
it switches to screen saver mode and shows a message for a second
stipulated sign, if desired. Day-Savor is a perpetual calendar,
and the message changes every day, corresponding to the astrological
energies in effect.
For someone like me, who works at a computer for hours each
day, DaySavor is a painless, no-effort method to find out what
is going on astrologically. I find these messages very appropriate
and useful, and I really appreciate the reminders. The text always
seems accurate, and I commend text authors Jennifer Thompson
and Kramer Wetzell for their grasp of astrological interpretation.
With just a little more effort on my part, I can use this
program to do all sorts of neat tricks. I can print the graphic
and message, embellish and expand the message, have the message
pop up at regular intervals, e-mail or fax the message to someone
else customize the fonts and colors, and more.
In user-friendly fashion, this PC-compatible software has
been designed to take up minimal storage space on the hard drive.
Plus, this program is part of a series of screen savers offered
by KaizenWorks, and all have been designed to reduce hard disk
needs by accessing the same basic programming for all the related
screen savers.

DAY SAVOR SCREEN-A-DAY-CALENDARS
It's the start of another workday, and you're turning on your
computer. What is the first thing you see on the screen? It could
be a fresh inspirational quote,
affirmation, or biblical verse complete with screen picture
and musical greeting. These Screen-A-Day calendars for PC users
include screen savers, and can be customized with your own favorite
quotes, images, and music. You can also add a note of your own
and create a personalized print-out which can e-mailed or faxed
as a message, with or without images. KaizenWorks president Nikki
Kilgore perceived a need in the software market for an "easy
to use product with a utilitarian purpose and a spiritual or
inspirational message." These fit the bill. Five different
calendars make up the line including one with angel messages
and one that gives a daily
horoscope; new themes are being released every few months.
