Re: Network Version Wanted...
The problem with a networked version is that if you're using it on a lan at work (with file and printer sharing enabled), then everyone else will have access to it as well. I'm sure that's something that Jim would like to avoid. With any piece of quality software, you should expect some level of security to protect the author's investment and I believe that Jim is taking the right steps to do so while still making it as easy as possible to setup the program on a new computer.
If he makes it too easy though, then far too many people will end up passing copies around to friends at work, on the net, and so on. As it stands now, it's not really all that secure to be honest and I'm sure people are passing it around just the same. Then again, I don't think Jim really figured that his screensaver would garner the interest of hackers.
