[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] Heh. I was an enthusiastic supporter of SETI@home a few years ago. Unfortunately, their implementation of the screen saver version for OS X is rather lacking, because they refuse to make a version that can be integrated with the system's screen saver module. That system panel has the ability to require a password before the screen saver is turned off -- something that I consider important for my laptop security. Their "recommended" solution is to run both screen savers. Go figure. :rolleyes: I'm thinking of installing the Darwin-compatable command line client and a freeware GUI menu extra to control it, but I haven't worked up the interest to go to the effort of going through the relatively difficult (and potentially dangerous) process of installing it, since I'm still a relative newbie when it comes to Unix. At any rate, I haven't had much of an opportunity to use SETI anyway since I got my iBook, my first laptop. It's better to shut the case and put it to sleep in most situations. And I won't leave it running and awake all night, because the processor is a little loud in a quiet bedroom. [/QB][/QUOTE]
