Balls And Boxes ReviewBlah - Version: 1.0b1, 9/2/2003 02:26PM PST

Works ok. The cubes roll like balls on the floor. Shadows are a MUST in this environment so we can tell how far off the ground each object is! There are no shadows.... ugh. I got this message after shutting moving the mouse.

megaspore, it worked on my dual monitor setup. it just takes a long time to initialize, and then runs very slowly. This is the same problem every new screensaver has. I guess multiple monitor setups are rare. Oh yeah I forgot to mention before - some sound effects would be very welcome!
