Anyway, this screen saver displays alittle firework show. It could be the same as the "stars" that everyone keeps mentioning. Anyway, if you are using a color monitor, then it diplays fireworks of random colors at a random intervals on the screen. No matter what rez you are in it will use 16 colors. In mono, it only uses white. I like pyro because it reminds me if I forgot and left my computer on. I haven't had any problems with it interferring with any other programs but my software base is limited..... Paul Sears University of Houston COSC10HV@Elroy.Uh.Edu
