    I was wondering if anyone knows a good safe site that offers free screensavers?

    Specifically, I am searching for a 3D package that has around 10-12 savers in it. All that I can remember is that one screensaver simulated a "worm hole". Yeah, not much information to go buy...

    If I can't find that package again, it is now big deal... But I would like to find it again. It had some pretty cool savers in it.

    The package that you are talking about...

    One with lots of little multi-colored motes of light moving around in patterns?

    One with a fireworks thing?

    One with a really really cool hyperspace mode?

    No need to thank me, but I think you might be looking for http://www.reallyslick.com/. Sorry if I'm wrong though.

    There's lots of malware hiding as screensavers out there. I had a lot of difficulty telling between 'clean' sites and 'infected crap' this time around. Usually it's easy to be fairly certain. Those reallyslick.com screen savers look very pretty.

    What really spun me out was discovering that the old Johnny Castaway screensaver is still around and can be run under modern Windows and Linux (with some workarounds). It was awesome when it first came out and probably still is today.

    The website made me lol. It's a "home page" that's unintentionally funny. It's made in the same awful, amateurish style as the majority of homepages from the late 90's. I hope never to see them again.
