I got pyro.prg and it works fine and does not seem to conflict with any of my programs. But the problem is that it takes 9 minutes of wait for it to activate. Does any body out there know if it can be adjusted to different times or if the program is set with this time. Thanks Earl Hood (UCI)

I don't know how to shorten the time (or lengthen it), but I have another suggestion: make one of the screen corners be the `start right now' corner, and another (possibly configurable) be the `don't start' corner. Move the mouse into one corner, and the screen-save starts right away. Move it into the other (and leave it there), and the screen saver won't start up until you move it out of there. (Not my ideas, just the way I've seen other screen- savers work.) - David
