Oh great...
I've just started using Moire over Flex (which I liked) because of the latter's
inability to operate concurrently with Imagewriter printing, even with "Enable
Background Events," and now I hear this. I'm afraid to even try it. Is there
a screen saver out there that will:
- Do something vaguely interesting on-screen.
- Allow printing, etc. to go on "behind it" even in the case of MacWrite Image-
writer printing, where the application does not generate any screen activity
during printing.
- Allow some control over timing, "always sleep" and "never sleep" areas, etc.
Both Flex and Moire come close to meeting these requirements, but have the
problems mentioned above. Any ideas out there?
