I suspect a "true" screen saver would be one that turned the monitor off. Most monitors come with such a feature by way of a switch. Or, use the built in system that "turns monitor off in xx minutes". Anyone worried about burning in an image should consider that solution.
As Jim evidently intended, his aquarium was intended to be a "program". However, he realized it could easily made to start automatically by changing the extension from an *.exe to a *.scr. And for that most of us thank him.
Anyone hung up on this not being a true screen saver just remove the scr extension and replace it with an exe. Then make a short cut on your desktop to run the "program" at will.
