The Electric Sheep Screen-saver is an amazing and free, open source screen saver run by thousands of people all over the world. When the screen saver comes on, the computers communicate with each other via the internet to share the work of creating morphing abstract animations known as “sheep”. Think of it as distributed computing for screensavers! Windows, Linux and Mac versions are available. I can’t remember where I first read about this screensaver, but thanks for pointing it out! It’s become a daily conversation piece around my workstation!
