Product Description:
Inspired by the eponymous screen saver from BeOS, Message paints text over and over again, in a variety of colors and sizes. The original BeOS Message would only display the output of the "fortune" program, but Message for Mac OS X lets you choose any command-line tool to supply its text. You can also type any text you like (something utilitarian, like "Be back soon," or silly/artsy, like Unicode dingbats).
What's new in this version:
- Fixes a problem with the built-in fortune script (that either runs the real "fortune" or displays a helpful error message). Message should work with the BSD fortune package again.
- Adds some additional eye candy to message captions.
Operating System Requirements:
This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:
- Mac OS X 10.4 Intel
- Mac OS X 10.4 PPC
- Mac OS X 10.3.9
- Mac OS X 10.3
- Mac OS X 10.2
Additional Requirements:
- Mac OS X 10.2 or higher

I thought this would be a cool screensaver but was quite disappointed, the interface is not intuitive, unless you are a programmer. The options are not adequate, and the fonts are difficult to read and control.
