Pyro is the best screen saver I can currently find, but it drives me up the wall! Its biggest problem is that it prevents things from happening in the background. So if I walk away during a long print job (or while reading news via Telnet), it blacks out and suppresses network activity until things time out. I then come back to find my session terminated. So I'm afraid the perfect screensaver hasn't appeared yet. If it doesn't appear soon, I'll have to write it myself. I'd rather be doing other things. -- ===================================================================== Ed Anson, Calcomp Display Products Division, Hudson NH 03051 (603) 885-8712, anson@elrond.CalComp.COM
