A working Prime95 screensaver program will certainly make it a lot easier to
distribute the program on machines in offices and networks etc. The Prime95
program we now use does do something we don't understand and does not do anything
useful. I think a screensaver could be written in such a way that it also chunks
up cycles that are spilled when the machine is used normally. Furthermore the
small image floating over the black screen should be a little attractive. If
Prime95 is a screensaver, we all know what is does do (It prevents the screen from
burning in, and at the same time it tries to win $50,000 from a bunch of math
geeks)
