- Here u go. It's quoted from the Backspace Info:
-
- BackSpace is a collection of things to make your screen more interesting and
- fun. It can set your background color, give you a flying starfield as a
- backdrop for your normal work, act as a screen saver, and lock your screen to
- keep others from tampering with your data if you must leave the computer for a
- bit.
-
- I envision BackSpace as a screen saver construction set, a community project
- that others will extend by writing other neat screen saver modules. My goal
- is to make our computers look flashy and draw attention, even when they are
- doing nothing at all. And if I can provide something fun and useful in the
- process, all the better! If you create an interesting screen saver module and
- don't mind me distributing it, send it along and I'll include it if it's
- really cool. Go crazy, huh?
