Excellent idea, Russ. I was discussing with Like Welsh the problem of people
attached to their killer screensavers, and as he pointed out:
"But maybe they'd watch pic of their kids/dog/vacation instead? The
*particular* screensaver I was thinking of was the Photo Slide Show variety.
Slap an image on the screen, wait 15 seconds, fade out, display another.
Lots of free CPU time between pics."
Certainly it won't work for everybody, but I'm sure there would be a lot of
takers. Now, anybody know how to write such a thing? Could be released with
the prime95/NT software or as a seperate item to be downloaded from the same
site.
