MacAddict.com has a bunch of screen shots from PB, a couple of the screen shots are of a screen saver preference panel!

MacOS is finally going to have a built in screen saver. Woo Hoo!

Exclamation yep!

Yep, it's true. It has a screensaver. It's not very powerful, though. It draws an Apple logo and writes out your computer's name. Yes, that's it. Also there is no password-protection. But there are possibilities for adding Scr eenSaver modules, which is good.

Thumbs up Screen Saver

Steve Jobs had a nice screen saver on his OSX machine in Paris.
It took all his icons and displayed them randomly on his screen like the flying toasters on steroids.

Angry Screensaver crash

I setup my screensaver and left my machine for the night. Upon my return this morning, it was frozen solid. Perhaps there are conflicts between the screensaver and energy settings. Anyway, hope to see modules real soon that allow functionality and security to the screensaver.

well thats a module for FREESPACE - simple search with Sherlock (I currently canīt remember the URL). There are a lot of cool modules for it out there (OpenGL =8)

Thumbs up

What would be really cool is that Matrix screensaver that's on just about every platform.
