It comes with release 3.0.  Check into:
      /NextDeveloper/Examples/AppKit/BackSpace
and   /NextDeveloper/Examples/AppKit/BackSpaceViews

You'd have to compile it, but once you do you have a pretty nice screensaver  
program.  It's particularly nice that the source code is included, as it  
gives the budding programmer an example of how to do a lot of "neat things".
