Short note on this release by MC
I wanted to break the usual black-background + same color's three shades color scheme that was overused and boring in +4 demos. I think i succeeded :)

About the effects:
* The first effect is a 40 different speed vertical scroller, called similarity scroller, which is impossible to do over 4-5 FPS frame rate. I succeeded doing it at 50 FPS :) Sadly, few people realize that this is an impossible task being solved :(
* The second is a small interference effect with parallax scroller. Nothing special, but never done yet :)
* Third one is a simple hi-color plasma - it is under 800 bytes with fadein-fadeout and 8 color combinations when uncompressed.
* Finally you can see a 2 colors graphical logo drawn in PhotoShop6 :)) It is compressed with a tricky method to fit it in less than 2K.
* Music by Griff (Varga Péter) - thank you pal!
* It first run on the real machine at 4ever03, but everything was flawless, except that the incorrectly set up projector ruined the color experience.
