Great with xBack

First off I'd like to thank the creators for developing a Macintosh version. I discoverd the software via the Apple site, installed the demo and bought it 15 minutes later.

Anyway, for those Mac users who may not be aware there is a utility called xBack which allows you to run a screen saver as your desktop background. This way you can have Marine Aquarium running all the time!!! It does give your CPU quite a workout but if you have a dual CPU machine the impact is not that noticebale for general tasks.

Enjoy,

Alan

It works very well for me except when waking from sleep.

Why the thumbs down?
