DESCRIPTION
RedPill is a free screensaver for Mac OS X. It displays strips of green alien code which slowly draw themselves on the screen as they sweep towards you in 3D. It may bear a certain resemblance to graphics seen in a popular Sci-Fi movie sequel released in May 2003.

THUS.SPAKE.Z  If you've got an Intel Mac with OS 4 or OS 5 the developer's also got a 32 bit RedPill download on his website.

Works just fine on my MacBook Pro 2.5 GHz. with OS 10.5.8. It's really cool, too.

THUS.SPAKE.Z  Of course, that should read OS 10.4 or OS 10.5. MU really should give those who post comments/reviews the option to edit.

MACUPDATE ADMIN  You do have that option, albeit time-limited. You make a post and then whilst reviewing it you see a typo, etc., so you go to your (http://www.macupdate.com/users/thus.spake.z) MU page and edit the post.

JAZZYGUY  Works GREAT in 10.5.8 on my G4 12" Powerbook! Strange because it is for Snow Leopard only and is 64Bit!

MACSOLU  Although it is mentioned as being ONLY for Snow Leopard, I wonder why the developer did not make the effort to create a Leopard/Snow Leopard dual-compatible release. After all, virtually every other screensaver that has been updated in the past few weeks has managed to be work with both 10.5.x AND 10.6.x.

META  If you can tell me how to persuade OS X to compile a version that works on all OS releases, I'll give it a try. I've been unable to find the information on the ADC site.

MACSOLU  How about chatting with the developers of other screensaver modules which have been recently updated?

(I know this is not a Big Thing -- it's just more of a pain for end-users to try to keep track of what software version is compatible with what OS.)

MR.ABC  Disappointed. Won't even launch on my MBP with 10.5.6, it tells me to contact the developer for a newer version.

CASTLE ROSE  Tried it. Sorry not very impressed. It sort-of looks like the Matrix effect but needs more work. Keep working on it please.

MEATLEG  Needs work? What are you talking about?!? It looks exactly like the Matrix. Including the backwards Japanese characters and the falling cursors.

GREAT JOB GUYS!
