Bill, It is Fluid, a beautiful screen saver, I just loved it, but oh so consumptive of CPU.

John, I have Marine Aquarium, which I like very much. That's a tank full of fish. I'm not familiar with Fluid. How does one see it?

Unless you're computing something else that needs the cycles, what's the problem with letting a screen saver hog the CPU when you're not using it? | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be January 27.

Lee, I suppose no problem at all, I just have an ancient background with automotive engines, I used to work on them, race them. I have always hated to use something to it's potential for long periods of time...a belief that doesn't hold water here.
