I haven't used a screensaver since 1867.

Well, ok, since changing to LCD displays ;)

No need, Carstairs, no need.....

Well that is if you ignore asthetics as being essential to a persons well being apart from cutting yourself of from some darn fine art. :p

Essential to one's well being? A screen saver? Blimey :eek:

Screen savers always irritated the hell outta me, tbh ;)

The only one I ever really liked was a rather dated Christmas themed one, probably about 14 years old, it was full of atmosphere and my 3 daughters, quite young at the time, loved it as well. probably still have it somewhere but I bet the graphics look extremely dated.

I'm not keen on auto, I'm a kind of manual control type person.

Things cutting in uninvited make me want to.... kick them :D

Same here :). Not had a screen saver for many years now - as if I'm near the PC to see the screensaver it would probably be in use.

...although now that I've clicked on that first NVIDIA link, I'm going to have a play with the demos and see what my 8800 can do! Thanks Abarbarian :D.

The clock one I linked to is the best I recon though the train is cuteish.They use about an extra 50 watts when they are running :eek: I think they have a desktop shortcut that you can start them with so that would be a cool way to impress visitors
