It all started so innocently. Just a humorous take on a Bible passage, a giggle over a 'what if' situation, nothing serious. But then, I got a Commodore 64 and did a serious (read: boring) video production called 'The Bible in Time and Space' and I was hooked. I graduated to an Amiga 3000 and did a few videos. I also began doing a few webpages and found it an entirely pleasurable experience. Whirlwind Bible Tours began as a script for local cable broadcast but in a brainstorm, I realized that it would be a lot easier to produce as a website and would reach a wider audience to boot (not that I would actually boot many any of you). I grabbed a few graphics (I sure hope you don't want them back), converted them to Amiga formats using ImageFX for manipulation using DeluxePaintIV and DCTV, converted them back to JPEG and GIF files and voila. To reduce bandwidth and speed up access, if a pun could be done (hey! I'm a poet and I didn't realize I was doing it) using what I call table-graphics instead of JPEGs and GIFs, it was. Would you believe this entire site is smaller than a Meg? (Apologies to anyone named Meg. I didn't mean to draw attention to what is obviously a sensitive topic. Really.).
Feedback has been overwhelming from all the people wanting a hardcopy of the WhirlWind Bible Tour. Unfortunately, the graphics were all designed for a black background. If you don't mind a white background, I have designed a printable version of the Tour. It is big, so allow a minute or two for the graphics to load before you start printing. (Page breaks cutting stuff in half will be a problem until browsers include better print control.)
If you wish to print it all out keeping the black background and you have lots of toner/ink, download Canon WebRecord from www.ccsi.canon.com. I have used the demo version of the software with success. Basically, it will allow you to select a number of websites to print and it will organize it, put a table of contents on it, and then print it out, two columns to a page. The demo version allows you to do 5 or 6 print sessions. You need Win 95 8MB Ram, 8MB hard disk.

Having made it to the end, surely you have some impressions to share with Terry. Take a minute to send off this mail form and we promise not to call you Shirley again.
Forms too confining? Go ahead and email Terry directly at terryihs@yahoo.com. If you wish to use part or all of the Whirlwind Bible Tour for bulletin, newsletter or curriculum or whatever - go ahead. There is no copyright on it. I do, however, get a charge out of hearing how it is being used, so email me when you get a chance.
