(back) Subject: Holofires Inc From: [email protected] Date: Fri, 31 Oct 1997 05:31:25 -0600   As the back gets older I continue to look forward to virtual fires... I have always thought a good hologram and a piece of metal would have been a better way to set up a showroom display.......... When it came time to moving around a series of 500lb wood stoves in the showroom... the good old hologram would have been my choice to give our customers the view of what their stove would look like and the piece of metal would add the touchie feelie part of the sale.... But we couldn't afford the technology .....   Ah ........ soon we will have flat screen digital TV ...... and with a good computer generated fire and a fine crafted oak surround and a little marble... our new TV / Computer system will serve the need of our customers to see fire.... The Virtual Fireplace..... and as far as service calls????? ...... give them the Gates treatment.... let them talk to voice mail or wait for the upgrade to Fire 98........ .. Starterlogg has created a great screensaver.... add a little crackel and turn down the lights..... this little piece is a real burner...... >http://www.starterlogg.com/html/screen_saver.html
