BSOD! ReviewScreensaver? - Version: 1.0.2, 11/20/2006 10:22AM PST

I think all this download offers is a glorified screensaver installer. The screensaver itself is pants, and you could do a better job yourself by creating screenshots of crashed computers and system errors, saving them in iPhoto and running them through as a screensaver / slideshow. 10 minites work if you were **that** bothered and had nothing else to do with your time.

Every screen looks the same. The only obvious change is the actual error message itself, although I expect the core dump changes too. And how is a static screen going to prevent image burn-in, like screensavers are supposed to do?

Don't waste your time with this.

Should be called ScreenUserUpper not Screensaver.
Unless you have your monitor set to sleep after a few minutes...this will COOK the image into the CRT and even some LCDs.
