Product Description:

Throw together some attraction/repulsion particle effects and some smooth surfaces and this is what you get. It's pretty insane >=). Beware, although very fluid even at 15 fps, it's a CPU-eater. Originally by Terence M. Welsh. See http://www.reallyslick.com/.

Best. Screensaver. Ever. - Version: 1.4.0, 3/15/2004 08:39PM PST

I got this Screen Saver whenever I got my new G4 (about a year ago) to show off my new video card, and this has never, ever failed to impress.

Everyone who sees it is amazed by it.
