Oh, c'mon, that would be too easy :-)

	Oh, you want hard?  Ok, set the prelaunch on your program launcher to run
Juggler, a smooth animation ported from the Amiga, to the Atari, to the IIgs
and finally to Double HiRes.  Boot the computer and touch any key once, the
Juggler will keep the screen busy until you press Escape, where it will then
return to your launcher.  

	Instant "Screen Saver," as long as you leave your application and reboot the
computer each time you leave.

	I've also been experimenting with using DB.Pix with AppleWorks 3 to bring up a
graphic screen with one touch from any database, just by making one field a
constant in each database.

What I would appreciate more than a pretty, but pretty useless screen saver is
a multitasking IIe.  There was some discussion on Delphi about a couple of
years ago in which folks who know said that it was possible and were looking
for others to join a team to write the software needed to get around the IIe
architecture.  As far as I know, nothing happened.

I'd hate to see that happen to the super IIgs project -- and I'm a IIe person,
myself.
