With very little work (1hr) and lot of downloading (Xcode 2.1 700mb). Mac-Forums now has their very own RSS feed in Screen Saver Form!

Please send check or money order to PM box Graphite for your very own copy!(or just read on)

It is possible to download this little Quartz Bugger here.
or from this link Mac-Forums RSSaver.

Were on Versiontracker!

Feel free to pick up where I left off!
Currently it needs "press "$" for more information" link working.


Special Thanks to:
rs2sensen who inspired the whole idea.
badmojo for his useless hint for Universal Binary.
Aptmunich for the only feedback.
and to all the Mac-Forum members for downloading and using this wonderful screen saver, which will make my hour of work not a waste.
