I want to know what screensaver this is:

It shows a colored ball with lightning-looking things coming off it.
It bounces around the screen with the lightning-things branching off.
It has a black background.
It is constantly changing color.
I saw it on an iMac G4.

Can you please tell me what screensaver this is, its name, and maybe a screenshot?

Thanks in advance :)

That screensaver is called flurry. It is built in to OS X

And may I add that it's only for Mac OS X. You can't get for Windows. Well, until Longhorn comes out, and then Microsoft will blatantly copy Flurry and name it something like Spinning Color Flurry.

To select it, go to system prefs, desktop and screensaver, click screensaver, and in the lefthand column select Flurry.

Well, I'm not going to wait with Windows until LongHorn, I'm going to get a Mac before April next year. Maybe i'll get it by the end of the year,

So, this brings me to another question.

Will Mac OS X Tiger(10.4) be built into new Macs by April 2005?

because i know screensavers are changed with new OS versions, and i still want to get the one with Flurry built into it.

Is Fluid a Mac screensaver, because i dont use Mac. On my PC all 3-D screensavers look bad. Flurry is slow and only moves about 1-2 pixels every second. It goes faster than this on Mac, right?
