Well, BigBrother and I have both created both BBC ONE and BBC TWO clocks, who's do you like better, and why?

Also with my screensaver, try right-clicking when the screensaver is active, for a surprise Wink

You see, I'm contemplating creating a v2.0 version but if people don't like my screensavers any more than I won't bother wasting my time.

Hope you understand Smile

Well. I won't be offended if you say you like j2k's savers better and I' sure he/she will feel the same way.

If you say you like J2k's better then really it won't matter cause I'll still keep creating these things until I get bored.

And I think the little easter egg is great. I am trying to include some little easter eggs into mine when I can find the time.

Yup I agree with BigBrother. I won't be offended if you like his better, it's just that I have quite a busy schedule and I don't really have the time to create screensavers if nobody wants them - however if you do then I will!

In my opinion both our screensavers have advantages and disadvantages..

For example:

Mine - the images can appear blurry and/or pixellated on some monitors (hopefully will be fixed in v2.0 if people want it)

BigBrothers - the clock's minute hand doesn't work properly at the top of the hour

Mine - doesn't experience BigBrother's 'bug'
BigBrothers - doesn't experience my 'bug'

Mine - includes that little speciality when right clicked

BigBrother's doesn't at the moment, but like he said, in the future he might add some!

Who wins.. You decide Wink

Who goes and Who stays? YOU Decide!

Is that not what they say on Big Brother.

We're slowly drifting off topic here but I think it's

Who goes.. YOU decide..

To evict Helen call {phone number}
To evict Paul call {phone number}

And people - I urge you to vote out vain Paul! Do it for the sake of the cameramen having to look at his ugly face 24/7! Or.. just do it for me Smile

It's simple. The question was for people who have both.

I'm sorry that you missed out but you had about two weeks to preregister for it.

Sorry but please don't take your frustration out on me!

Due to unforseen circumstances version 1.0 can no longer be downloaded via the web site.

Sorry!! Shocked

Well no offence intended,but I think j2k's one is great! (BTW,half the time the BBC One 'Easter egg' does not work. Maybe this could be fixed in v2.0!)
