- Battle screen saver 1.6. Let Them Die!!! — One of the coolest features about the old science fiction movies was space battle. Those naive but grandiose battlefields, thousands of different spaceships, huge asteroid-like battle-cruisers and small nimble fighters, explosion flashes and laser traces… Yes, those battles sometimes do return in the modern movies (for ex., the «new» Star Wars trilogy is quite a good one), but still they were born in 1980’s, with Star Trek and the…

This idea is also utilized in human-made water and underwater vessels; modern «sound radars» — Sonars — are the…

Insufficiency: The majority of the creativity tools provided by computers (virtual tools) are just the «old real-world tools on steroids». It’s all about still «writing text, but having it pretty formatted», «drawing a picture, but beautifying it with cool…

- Fairy Christmas Day 3D Screensaver 1.0, Saving Screen, Saving Mood — Screen-savers became popular in the good old days when they addressed an important, even vital, problem of — you’ll laugh! — saving the screen. In those sad old days, CRT screens had to change their picture frequently enough to prevent pixel burnout. Those sad times are long gone, and nowadays screensavers are just an entertainment: when you aren’t using your computer, why should it look like a boring workplace…
- WeiserWare Screen Saver Manager, Never Recurring Beauty — The job is done, and you won’t need the computer for a while. You wish you wouldn’t see its desktop stuffed with countless windows while you’re taking care of something else; however, seeing the same screen saver showing the same picture over and over while you’ve been around can just as well drive you nuts.
