COUNTPOLLEN  Why pay for a bad ripoff of a MS Windows Vista screensaver.

I'd rather compile the good old linux screensavers for mac.

It's a bad thing to steal and I really don't think that anybody is waiting to see these...

Cheerio!

Good luck coming up with something original.

BRIONYBOB  It's certainly better than I could do, but I'm sadly unimpressed. It's a bunch of five semi-transparent images that bounce around the screen. They don't even bounce in a realistic fashion. I remember making bouncy things like this on my Spectrum in the 80s...

GAZMAN  This is my favourite screensaver from Vista (possibly favourite thing from Vista) so was glad to see a port to OSX. However, you only get about ten or seconds before the bubbles fill with dollar signs and an unregistered notice. $2.50 isn't much so I might think about it, but at the moment its only an early beta.
