run as screensaver before buying?

Hi

I stumbled upon MA yesterday and fell in love with it! Great job here y'all. One question however: is it possible to run MA (regular or time) as a screensaver before purchasing it? When I set it up to run the grey screen always shows that requires a keycode to get past. I'm currently running as the administrator with OSX (10.1.5) on a G4 tower. And also, I've noticed it said that Time is supposed to have a starfish? There's not even a greyed-out option for one, just to let you know. I've had no other difficulties with MA. Thanks a bunch!

On Mac OS X, you can run the screen saver only in "test" mode from the System Preferences Screen Saver (or Effects) panel. Use the "Test" button on that panel to try out MA as a screen saver. You must purchase a keycode to use the screen saver in regular usage (eliminate the blank screen with the message).

Similarly, you must purchase a keycode (i.e., purchase the product) to have access to the starfish and the lionfish. Additionally, purchasing the product allows you to view up to seven fish (eight fish for widescreen displays) instead of three, as in the demo.

Thanks, that's what I had figured but thought I'd check anyway. I'll be registering when I get my next paycheck!
