LifeSavers ReviewProduces lovely images, but.... - Version: 1.1, 1/15/2007 07:54AM PST

These screensavers produce absolutely lovely images -- especially the Mandelbrot saver. However, it would be so much more interesting to see the the Mandelbrots growing in process rather than simply the final completed image.
Also, on my system, OS X's System Preferences unexpectedly quit several times while dealing with the more memory intensive of these savers (although, to be honest, it may have been due to a low memory situation created by running multiple apps).

Hi,

I have downloaded the disk image onto two Macs running Tiger, and it opened fine on both. If anyone else has problems opening the disk images, please let me know.

Thanks,
George Russell

The disk image won't mount. Not surprising, as it's a mere 32KB in size.
