This is a simple, non flashy screen saver but it's very nice. I like it.

I was expecting something a little more flashy like 3D foam.

This screensaver is a little TOO simple for me. In this age of 3D screensavers and more advanced graphics, this is just boring. But I must give the guy kudos for making something that is clean and useful to some.
