What are some of your favourite screensavers?
I have fond memories of the original flying toaster After Dark module. At weekends my dad used to bring home a Mac Classic from his school with After Dark installed, where I would play around with MacPaint and anything else I could find.
Do you currently use a screensaver on your computer?
At work my desktop is set up to turn off the monitor instead of show a screensaver, and my iMac at home doesn't get used much as we tend to use iPads. At the moment my Apple TV shows some of my personal photos, but if I could get it to show Flurry I probably would.
Do you see a future for screensavers?
It's a shame, but personal computing devices these days are mostly run on batteries so it's hard to see a future where people are willing to spend spare energy on a purely aesthetic feature."
