I make all but 29! Its especially fun to put the Kernel Panic screensaver on my mac, then people around will be like OMFG your mac crashed. And ill be like well... on a mac you can just hist escape and it will continue to run.  Then people will look in amazement as you walk over to your mac and uncrash it. I also love my dashboard, its frikken win. although my mac is so 2001. It can still run most things as a new one can. People always think its like 2 years old. Because of 1. How it performs and 2. it looks newish as PC's copy mac design. My Home workhorse is a PM G4 QuickSilver which i run Leopard on.

Honestly, I've always been more of a fan of just putting the monitor to sleep than screen savers. Sure they look pretty awesome, but if you're sitting at your computer, are you really doing so with the screen saver on?Good luck for the dates. It has been some times since we last heard about the next tour. I hope they can run it accordingly now.tIXQx8NXPNajKeo8

Full of professional insight based on testing by experts that knew what they were talking about. I would certainly go again and recommend it to anyone operating in this field.
