- This is a good screensaver, especially if you don't like toy screensavers.
- this one keeps out of the way, and doesn't hog CPU time like others do.

- I'm hoping Kai will update it so I can load it in Config.sys, and it'll
- blank the scren for all screens, not just OS/2 PM (OS/2 Fullscreen, DOS,
- and Windows ) while he does have a DOS and Windows version, an all in one
- version would be way cooler.
