This was one of my favourite screensavers, and I paid the $2 for it.

However, the current version dates from 2003 and is PowerPC only. It can't be used on Intel Macs, which is very frustrating.

Although the developer's site is still online, the email address given there no longer works (emails sent to it just bounce). Please, developer, update this excellent saver for Intel Macs! This is all the more important because you asked money for this saver. Users of freeware that doesn't get updated haven't that much cause for complaint, but screensavers are rather trivial things to be asked to pay for in any case, so to take money and then fail to produce essential compatibility updates seems a little naughty. (OK, the registration fee for this one was extremely small, but even so, it's the principle that counts.)

I love this screen saver. Been a registered user for years. It just works and it looks great.

My only question is: "Will we ever get an expanded ballz set?"

Thanks for making good software.

Very nice. Very nice.

Would be neat if the screenSaver would also display monochrome versions of a User's Pictures folder using ballz, too. That would probably be worth $10 :)

Also, just for fun, because there is a set of ballz that uses transparency (so I can use xBack and *not* completely cover up my desktop picture...*very* cool), it would be neat if there were a way to set the position of the clock on the screen.

Way better than any K clock Widget, that's for sure....

This is a very nice-looking screensaver! It'd purchase it (in fact, I'd pay extra) if, with fancy transitions and fill screen with ballz turned on, the clock would slowly slide around the screen (or at least jump around with the balls rotating smoothly into place rather than the abrupt jumping seen when you don't fill the screen with ballz).

beautiful and most intriguing screensaver and we are priviliged to have it for our Macs. My porervious comment should be forgotten by those who read it as my failure to get a code from the author was not deliberate on his part but due to a misunderstanding.

done. But the use of one of the transparent background selections first quit my System Prefs, then later resulted in a strange sort of static overlay. Seems to work perfectly well when an opaque background is selected. An idea - provide one of the selections with a rainbow of colors across the multitude of dots (each their own color). Using 10.2.1

Siskel & Ebert! Time Ballz is simply outstanding. Easily the best $2 I have ever spent on a piece of software. This is a truly mesmerizing screesaver (and to think it's just a clock!). I've had countless co-workers coment on it in meetings, I actually think this might be the final bit that causes a couple of my friends to grab an ibook. :^)
