well, if I see it slows down my machine some, I assume I can always 
switch to command-line version (I can do that, right?)  so far so good.. 
  I kind of like how screen-saver looks, runs on an entirely-black 
screen...  thank you very much for your help..  Frances

I installed the GUI version on my Windows 2000 PC too.

If you use it as a screen saver then I've found it runs only half as 
fast.  So I've not got it set as a screen saver and have ticked the box 
in the box in "Preferences" so it runs all the time - doesn't seem to 
get in the way of my other work.

Trouble with using it as a screen saver is that it's not a very good 
screen saver in that most of the image is constant and could damage your 
monitor.  Most PC's have power saving features these days so the monitor 
should switch off after a while - so it shouldn't really be a problem.
