Love System47! For some reason the screen goes black after a period of time (not from OS), so I switched back to my personal favorite screen saver Aerial Dream - I have it installed on everything from my AndroidTV to my Mac/Win/Lin devices.

I'm going to have to try the BSOD screen saver pranks on a few friends pretty soon. Thanks Chris!

Chris, I can't thank you enough. I'm 55 years old and started with computers at the age of 12 with a Commodore VIC-20. During my Commodore Amiga years, I ran across a screensaver that I remember being named Swarm. For years, every now and then, I would try to find a Windows version.

Now, thanks to you, I've found it in the Flock screensaver that's part of Really Slock Screensavers. After tweaking Flock's settings, I can make it look identical to what I remember of Swarm. It's such a wonderful feeling of nostalgia for me.

So, thank you!

Here are my settings if you want to see what it looked like. Since our computers can handle much more with ease, I cranked Followers up to 4,000. I'm pretty sure the original was less than that. :-)
