Thanks to Marian for giving me a reason to post in this thread one last time. I'm done. Next topic?

Wow,
I'm gone for a week and you guys go berserk! All this and it still ends with Jim stating one of his famous (at least around here) boiled-down statements: "No". Thanks to Morgan, Tiny Snapshots is up and running again with "Tiny Järvafält" as the latest addition – Go have a look and tell me what you think.
"We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another." /Robert Oppenheimer on witnessing the first thermonuclear detonation in history. |

Uh? How does one even manage to have icons covering a screensaver in the first place? I didn't think that was possible.

I've obviously missed something here... which is quite normal for me.

On a Mac you can do it with a 3rd party app.

Me, well you can tell where my passions lie, while others here show more balance to the force, or "do Windows". We really enjoy the debates and try not to take things too personally. When things get out of hand, we eventually come to our senses and gather in Ten Forward to imbibe in some Romulan Ale. But we all share our love for the Marine Aquarium screen saver, which can run as a separate application on the Mac. It's screen saver can be run as desktop wallpaper using Backlight 2.0 a free third party application. Now that my desktop icons have been eradicated, the beautiful MA live screensaver runs all the time at low priority. A quick stab of the F11 key moves all windows aside and reveals MA in its full glory

Thanks. Having never owned or operated a MAC I find that quite interesting, but wont rush out to get one within the forseeable future.
Live long & prosper.

They are about the same size as the Volitans Lionfish.

At first glimpse, they remind me of kind of porcupine fish. The tail and fins around the tail and the 2 fins in the bottom front look pretty and fluid. Can't wait to see them wave in the water.

Hm,
Judging by just that shot I would say I like the Volitans better. Sorry. /Tiny Yoko Thanks to Morgan, Tiny Snapshots is up and running again with "Tiny Järvafält" as the latest addition – Go have a look and tell me what you think.
