hDC FirstApps has, as part of the package, a screen saver that I think
is cool... you can choose it to do a bunch of polygon's (like the X11 
SUN's do) with different colors (you specify the # of vertices and the #
of polygons before it starts erasing), or you can have "rocks" (kind of
like flying in space type, but I found it boring quickly), or you can have
a bitmap blink around the screen (I have a clip-out of Paulina's face which
I like to use for this)...  anyway, it works, and it's good (the polygons
will sometimes mesmerize me, I just sit there and watch it for minutes, 
then again, I do stupid things like that)...
