    I'm looking at Electric Sheep, and it looks pretty cool aside from the fact that most sheep are only 4 seconds long. Anyone have any cool-looking screensavers to share?

    Edit: Also something that works in full resolution would be nice... ES is just 640x480, stretched.

    I have a blank screen, followed a few hours later by the monitor going into power saving mode. Screen savers are nasty annoying things.

    Yer the reallyslick.com ones are excellent.

    I like them because they run across Dual Monitors great!

    havent had a chance to run dual monitors yet... im at work and they will only allow me the single 17" flat screen. But when i get home ill give it a go on my dual dell monitors. Thats one of the great things about dual tfts.... everyone thinks ur a swanky git :)

    I was the same, had my monitor go into a blank screensaver and a few seconds later go into power saving mode. Now I have it on SETI for now.

    I use'd to have it browsing a photo album with nature-pictures. But since it generates alot of cpu-activity I just switched to black screen.. then going out. It rocks!

    I use the reallyslick screensaver, it's really cool imo, especially on my HTPC connected to the tv!

    The worst screensavers are people who use the same picture slideshow over and over agin...

    EDIT: Just realised this is the apple forum, but I suppose if the reallyslick screensavers work on macs, it still counts :)
