[meteorite-list] Tom Phillips Meteorite Micro Visions Screensaver

[Sterling K. Webb]

Hi, MikeG, List

While this is not the specific screensaver 
you're looking for, it is a meteoritically 
themed screensaver and very "impactful" 
and entertaining:
http://www.fourmilab.ch/craters/

After the screensaver pause interval has 
passed, craters start appearing on your 
screen. It was written by John Walker, 
the original programmer of AutoCAD. 
Installation is easy, with instructions 
on that link given above.

I can testify that the 32-bit verion works 
on all MS operating systems up through
Win7 32-bit (there's also a 16-bit version, 
if you're really living in the past). I quote 
the author: " 'Craters' simulates cratering 
of initially flat terrain, obeying the same 
power-law relating crater size to numbers 
observed on airless solar system bodies."

What better way to protect your monitor's 
phosphor than by smashing rocks into it 
at dozens of kilometres per second?

Hi List,

Can someone provide me with a working download link for Tom Phillip's
excellent Windows desktop screensaver?  Every link I can find online is
broken or 404.

I used to have it on my old netbook, but I did not have the file backed up.
It does not appear to be online at Meteorite Times any longer.

Best regards and Happy Huntings,

MikeG
