Product Description:

Feeling hungry? Imagine being able to make popcorn right from your Mac's screen. Just install this screensaver, activate, and in just a few short moments you have a screenful of popcorn, ready to eat! And with the exclusive "Smell-o-Vision" technology, you can even smell the popcorn! Do you want butter with that?
Okay, so the popcorns not real, and "Smell-o-Vision" hasn't been invented yet, but it's fun to watch!
You may use Popcorn for FREE, but if you register for $5.00, you get, the "View Desktop" mode, and the "Simultaneous Kernals" options, (see below)! You also will have my gratitude, and give me the incentive to continue making quality screensavers!

Forced reset of screen resolution when exiting screensaver. Fixed sound bug that was causing the CPU to bog down after prolonged use. Squashed some other minor bugs. Improved quality of the popping sounds.

Used it, thought it looked cool, got sick of waiting for the rez to change back every time I come out of the saver, so I dumped it

I'm not saying I could do better but this is very old-school.

Screen Resolution Switching Issue - Version: 1.0, 6/10/2003 11:52AM PST

SkyrocketSoftware

I've tested this screensaver on several Macintosh models, however they all are running MacOS X version 10.2.x (Jaguar). In my testing I've had no issues with the screen not switching back to it's original resolution. I have noticed an issue with slow recovery (the mouse was moved, etc.), when the screensaver has been running for awhile with the sound on. This is especially noticeable on G3 macs. It appears to be locked up, but if you wait a minute or two, it will fully recover. I am working on a fix that I'll post as soon as I can. The workaround is to "Mute" the sound. Also you can prevent the resolution switching problem, by deselecting the "Optimize for Screen" option. If you are having problems with this screensaver, please email me with your Mac model, RAM, and version of MacOS X. ~ Michael Briscoe, SkyRocket Multimedia.
