Oh, I hope not! 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.
