Nice, simple screensaver. It doesn't have much features, it lacks documentation, and it's not really easy to install. I still like it.

Installing Fortune-Saver
Apparently, there aren't many people who know how to install this. I'll write a quick install howto :).

You will need Fink (fink.sf.net) if you want to use this screen saver. If you have Fink already installed, you can go to the terminal and type the following:
sudo apt-get install fortune-mod
This will download and install the fortune program, which is needed by Fortune-Saver. When apt-get finishes, you can drop Fortune-Saver.saver into a Library/Screen Savers directory:
  • ~/Library/Screen Savers: if you want to install it for yourself only, not for other users
  • /Library/Screen Savers: if you want to install it for all users (you will need administrator privileges)
Then go to System Preferences and select the screensaver. Enjoy. :)

Oh, by the way, I didn't write it. I just like writing documentation... ahem. :)
