- We have been pondering the fate of Pixelsaver3.0 which is a Backspace
- compatible screensaver, lockscreen, backgrounder and system customization
- untility which drops into the Preferences application and has the
- ability to do animiation in the login window. We have made many additions
- and changes including a mouse "sleep now" corner and a general interface
- for making nifty changes to the OS (sort of like CDEV's on the Mac).
- Quite frankly we're tired of working on it and see very little incentive
- as Backspace is avalible free and there are numerous competing products.
- Pixelsaver3.0 is not yet entirely 3.0 compatible yet and we would
- like to know if net users would like us to release Pixelsaver3.0 as
- public domain (= FREE to all). Would you be willing to write a
- Pixelsaver module? Would you be willing to update Pixelsaver to 3.0?
- Please respond via e-mail to "dnp@math.mit.edu" and if there is
- enough interest we will place sources on the NeXT archive sites.
- Our hope is that you will all help to make Pixelsaver the one FREE
- untility that all NeXT owners will want.

- Thank you for your time,
