BIONIC's SETI program design flaws:
Why don't they remove all display modes except for 4 to 8

The other screen saver modes just waste CPU cycles, and don't 
display the scientific data very well.

Why don't they work on an updated screen saver that features:

Minimalist + StarMap

This would be so cool!! Starmap screen saver! It would show current 
WU and your history!

But the trouble is they are on a minimalist budget!

But on the other hand some knowlegdeable programmer might undertake 
the task as a matter of training :-) and do it for them. A Gnu 
StarMap!

Hey! It would also show the Messier objects (at least), and maybe 
some of the NGC objects, but also the Sun, Moon, and Planets! This 
would be so great!

What's a Messier object?
