Hi gang!
Seeing as my computer pulled a "this message will self destruct in 5 seconds" without the benefit of the 5 second warning a couple weeks back, I'm experiencing the joys that only come with trying to recreate the careful mishmash of programs, quirks, and virii that resembled my previous machine.
But as I always do when my computer breaks down (I've got it down to once a year now, it's quite remarkable), I also like to tweak and improve the small things I used to take for granted. For example, for the longest time I've had a (very good) Matrix screensaver, with the falling green characters and quotes from the first movie. I always loved it.
But like all screensavers, it got old.
So, assuming any of you have made it through all my colourful commentary and are still awake, do you have suggestions for cool screen savers I could go find and use? Here's my list of qualifications:
MUST:
- NOT be a virus
- actually do the function for which it was designed (ie. save the screen, not animate the screen in place or always play the same thing so you get burn-in anyways... and yes, I have a flat LCD screen, sue me.)
MUST NOT:
- be vulgar
- be Christmassy
And it doesn't have to be movie related. Suggestions?
