Lots of sites, to check out there, [I shall at the w/e]

In the meantime I am looking for something specific.

Does anyone know of a saver which will scroll through a directory of
bitmaps, or even .jpg's, though these would have to preload for
speed?

Afterdark's slide show is somewhat like what I am looking for, but
the minimum period of 5sec is rather too slow, I want to refresh at
~1sec.
The idea is to just add each days new [satellite] image to the
directory and animate the sequence as the saver.

If anyone knows of a saver that will do this I would love to hear
about it, or even a different way to approach the animation.

MTIA
Ric
