As I answered yesterday, I like the screensavers. They're fun. And up
until now, I've never had them lock my system up.
I haven't used a screensaver in a long time, but because of your
comment, I decided to try them. Set them for short swap, 1 minute,
randomly. Maybe it was because of long absence, but I was impressed
with their intricacy and the programming that must go into them. I
found some to be more pleasing than others, but they were all
mesmerizing. Sort of like watching a fire, where the flickering
entrains the brain. Watching them is a good way to take a break from
mentally spinning wheels, as they quiet the mind. I spent a lot more
time watching them than I meant to, and I found myself getting flashes
of insight on random things in my life. Heh.
