Hey jester guys, 404 on your link.

Me too.

If that won't put you to sleep, what will!?  :)


>>Personally I dont use them and dont know anyone that does.


A lot of people do.  They're good promotional devices.


Also, people with hobbies like them. I was thinking of putting one together

for the Rare Heritage Turkey group, Cattle Dog groups, and Farming group I

belong to.  Just to be cool.  No question these hobby people will dig it.

And there's a million types of them.


>>Is selling "screen savers" a big business?


If your doing a website for a big company, throw in a company specific or

industry specific screen saver.  They'll love you for it.  And it gets your

name *on screen* boys & girls.  Worth the investment in my book.  How tough

can it be to throw some images and a little pizzaz together?

People rarely like noise coming from their computer.  At least in my

circles.  Makes it seem like they're not working, and it gets old quickly.

Known as "attract mode".

Possibly in the future, someone will develop screen savers that actually

provide useful real time info.  I'm thinking Flash Gen here.  Weather news,

breaking news, etc. etc.  C'mon people, this is a no-brainer!

LOL,  Hey Frederico, that's not a bad idea!  :)


Actually, every women who's seen it has been intrigued.  They start judging

the girls.  Meow!

Oooh.  That's spooky.  I don't like my monitors watching me.


Hey FlashJester guys, Where's the Mac version?  Win only?  Surely you jest!
