Hyperspace-
This is a real number cruncher of a screensaver. Computers are getting much more powerful these days, and my old savers don't bring them to their knees like they used to. This one does. Of course, you can still turn the settings way down if you have a pathetic, old computer.

Helios-
Throw together some attraction/repulsion particle effects and some smooth implicit surfaces and this is what you get.

Euphoria-
This is about as psychedelic as screensavers get. I thought my Plasma saver was at the top of the scale, but this one is even more nauseating. You'd better find one of those air sickness bags before you stare at this one for too long.

SysTrayPlay is an MP3 and CD playing application that is based on being light-weight on both design and on impact on system resources and provides a simple yet fully functional way to enjoy music as it is meant to be, heard not seen.

A blast from the past, Sonics Foundry's excellent Media player was designed for the perfectionist! This media player was very advanced for it's time and sported dual eye-candy displays- rare even in today's players. The quality of the visualizations alone is enough reason to try this player, they are amazingly stunning - maybe prettier than anything you've ever seen before!

With an ultra-customizable GUI with 16-band EQ, efficient media manager with play lists, awesome 'eye-candy' (unmatched even by most players today), and ability to minimize to the System tray (with one-click mute and playback controls) make this a winner!

Plays all bit-rates (CBR/VBR) MP3, WMA, and WAV formats, but MP3s ripped at Extreme VBR (320kbps) report 128kbps in tickler.
