Hey, one for you mac users out there. One of the guys at work (a Uni) got a new 17" powerbook, and set the wallpaper as the fishtank screensaver. It didn't take up any noticable processor power, and all of the apps were running fine. From what I can gather, with a little 3rd party software, you can get any screensaver to run as wallpaper.

For what it's worth, my work mac has all of the previous and current Tomb Raider movie pics, randomly changing every 60 secs.

Indeed you can. You can also choose a photoshop image as wallpaper if you like. Versatile things, Macs ...

Heh! I tried the desktop screensaver trick on my creaky old G3/500 PowerBook. I had to SSH in from my Windows box and kill the process as the PowerBook became completely unresponsive. I guess it couldn't handle Flurry as the desktop picture
