Goofy About Box

Silly, fun animated About Box for your applications (use your own pictures!) Even plays dopey sound effects!

Original Author: Brian Battles WS1O

Assumptions

Uses a timer to "bounce" a couple of pictureboxes around on a form. Nothing complicated, but fun and easy to use with your application.
(The graphic here doesn't do it justice because it's animated...)

Side Effects

None known
