| Subject: Any other SETI screensavers? |

I've been googling, but are they not any add-on (BOINC) SETI screensavers?
The BOINC SETI screensaver is absolutetly worthless. It is butt ugly and
gobbles resources. Why do they even bother including it?
I doubt SETI is ever going to get around to making a practical screensaver
for BOINC, so I went looking for possible add-on screensavers. None exist,
it looks like.
Just something simple would be great. No "wobbling spectrum analyzers"!
Just something that shows real time BOINC progress, is easily visable, has
some color and simple graphics, and most of all works with passwords
enabled. (The BOINC screensavers don't work with passwords. This has been
a known issue for years. Congrats Boinc, for achieving to be the only
screensavers on the planet that can't use passwords.)
The best I've been able to do so far is use a program that brings up
pre-selected web sites as a screensaver. I use it to bring up my BOINC
"signature tag" .gif, and float it around the screen.
TIA,
Eric
