I think it would be cool with a POV
screensaver.

An obvious choice would be a screensaver
that displays the quotes from the treat
"You know you've been raytracing too long
when..."

I, however, is not able to make it. If
there's any programmer who can do it, it
would be great.

If it is for any help I have a compiled
list with the quotes, modified so there's
only line breaks after each quote.

There is a plug-in for After Dark called "Headlines". I think it was
available for both Mac and Windows, but its been a while since I've used
After Dark on Windows. It also works with the freeware "Dark Side of the
Mac" for Macintosh. This plug-in could show random quotes.

There should be plug-ins that show images on the screen, though I don't
know. And After Dark has the ability to combine different screensaver
plug-ins, allowing you to show the image and have text on top of the
image.

Seems like somewhere I found a program that allows you to convert AVI's
to screensavers. That would be pretty cool, and easy too. I'll let you
know when I find it.
