There's a rather good freeware screen saver written by Gianpaolo Bottin
called GPhotoShow. It's just a slide show with transitions and provides a
*lot* of free CPU time in between the pictures -- I run it along with
Prime95 on this computer (450 pII) and there is no noticeable slowdown in

Dear All,
Let's face it, why should people who are primarily interested in mathematical
computation divert their time to writing rather unimpressive screen savers? There are
already plenty of programmers out there who can do that job better!
So...
Simply have an online list of "recommended"

Sorry, I wrote the text from the point of view of
someone in an office using his computer on which
someone else installed prime95. I don't need the
version for myself, but it's great to distribute
among people who have no clue about primes.
Don't be sorry! I think
Why not just write a piece of code that (during installation of Prime95)
removes the screensaver start-up line in the ini (windows) files. Then,
restart the PC with these new settings and the screensaver start-up lines
will be invisiable to the bootup. This would automatically turn off
