entertainment value.

If I'm sitting in class and not playing a video game, I like something fun to look at.

Using dual monitor display...

That matrix SS was cool till sp2?

The Gibson SS still is the best vs Windoze breziers...on the dual monitor...

Now 1 Monitor SS...? That firepalce one is kinda neat(new).

At that point, why not set up a time/picture thing custom?

I Haven't had the time to just jump/delve into it yet...

I would be happy to test anything, and folding is COOL!

Popepaltine?....

None, I lock workstation and power off the monitor. I want every single CPU cycle possible to be used for Folding.

I've been using one called "Blank"

It's all I ever use tbo.

'n BTW, careful about which screensavers you download/install. 2x weeks ago, a client installed some waterfall screensaver on her computer...and what came along with it? NewDotNet.

No, not Microsoft .Net, but the Russian DNS redirecting malware program NewDotNet, which modifies your Winsock and makes a mess out of networking and browsing.

Wait, I must be stupid or something. I actually read the ReadMe this time, and I copied the folder to C:\Windows\System32 and C:\Windows\System and I right-clicked desktop and selected the SS but I still got the error. <_<

I couldn't agree more.

that's why I like lurker's suggestion, opensource and freeware.

yummy!

wait, your wife's computer shell will think that it crashed?

you need to get out more if you think a screensaver will fool a computer into thinking it crashed.
