Post by: gibberish on February 09, 2004, 12:53:48 pm: I originally downloaded mine from www.bentleymotors.com and then in 'Team Bentley', but it doesn't seem to be there anymore. I've got a folder on my C drive containing about 8 files pertaining to the sceensaver, but I don't know which ones you really need. I can e-mail the whole lot if that helps.

Post by: Mr. Rick on February 09, 2004, 09:44:20 pm: Okeydoke Robbo! Will try to get sorted tomorrow (quieter day in prospect at "Red Line Design" towers!!).

As for MB.com and the TWR tribute, I couldn't possibly comment, as for MB.co.uk ;) I will endeavour to dig out some stuff, although I wasn't a "media mogul" in those days, so no real decent photos from Lemons.

Only a small mistake. I must have been thinking about that french restaurant again.

Post by: Mr. Rick on February 16, 2004, 07:57:12 pm: Right then, the 1024 x 768 version is ready. 11 full screen images that "block" in and out. But at 3.7 meg, it's a tad unwieldy to e-mail.

Anyone who fancies one, let me know your screen size (other sizes will be ready by tomorrow morning) in pixels, snail mail address and I'll pop on a CD in the post.

Sizes available will be:
1280x x960
1152 x 864
1024 x 769
800 x 600

Needs Windows 98 or later.

;D

Edited to add that it is 2.5MB "zipped" up if you think your mailbox can handle it!! But the 1152 and 1280 versions will be even bigger!!

Rick, would you please e-mail the zipped file to me. E-mail address as listed on CA.

Post by: jpchenet on February 17, 2004, 04:25:19 pm: Have you got enough space on MB.co.uk Rick?? If so we could ftp them off of there??

Never really "played" with screen savers much. My laptop is running at 1400x1050. Would one of the ones you've created work OK on that??

Post by: Mr. Rick on February 17, 2004, 06:20:55 pm: Oops - run out of time today chaps. Was just nipping by to check posts before signing off (off out training on the bike .. with a stop at the pub!!).

Will promise to get this sorted tomorrow (including the bigger one especially for you JP!). Also need to rejig the images as they were originally compressed to 256 colours and this resulted in some "spotting" so need to address this issue too ... tomorrow job!

Cheers

Rick

Post by: Steve Pyro on February 18, 2004, 04:21:35 pm: Received this morning, thanks very much Rick, very artistic.

It beats those pictures of naked ladies I had as a screensaver before. ::)
Title: Re:Bentley screensaver?
Post by: Mr. Rick on February 18, 2004, 09:59:16 pm: No probs - glad you like it Steve! Hmmm, Bentleys or naked chicks, tough one....

JP, your 1400 wide jobbie will be ready Thursday morning, will upload to the site and let you know where to download.

Cheers

Rick

BTW, put me down for £10 for your sponsored bike ride!! When is it??

Title: Re:Bentley screensaver?
Post by: Mr. Rick on February 19, 2004, 11:05:58 am: Thanks Monsieur Chenet! File should be ready for download by lunchtime.

Thanks also for the sponsorship offer. It's actually a series of rides throughout the season (April to August), will post more details soon! But basically there will be 16 x 10 mile time trial events plus also we are working towards an entry in a 24 Hour pedal car race (I kid you not!!!) in late June!

;D
