Re: [meteorite-list] Tom Phillips Meteorite Micro Visions Screensaver
Hi, MikeG, List While this is not the specific screensaver you're looking for, it is a meteoritically themed screensaver and very "impactful" and entertaining: http://www.fourmilab.ch/craters/ After the screensaver pause interval has passed, craters start appearing on your screen. It was written by John Walker, the original programmer of AutoCAD. Installation is easy, with instructions on that link given above. I can testify that the 32-bit verion works on all MS operating systems up through Win7 32-bit (there's also a 16-bit version, if you're really living in the past). I quote the author: " 'Craters' simulates cratering of initially flat terrain, obeying the same power-law relating crater size to numbers observed on airless solar system bodies." What better way to protect your monitor's phosphor than by smashing rocks into it at dozens of kilometres per second?

Every link I can find online is broken or 404. I used to have it on my old netbook, but I did not have the file backed up. It does not appear to be online at Meteorite Times any longer.

Re: [meteorite-list] Tom Phillips Meteorite Micro Visions Screensaver
Hi Mike, Sorry... I checked to see if I had any old backups that contained the files but it's been way too long since I created the screensaver and don't have the files any longer. Thanks for the memories!
