If you think that the monitor screens in Star Trek are cool looking, then you must check out this Screen Saver! Very well done. Mac version soon.

I usually frown on screen savers, but this one's pretty darn cool. Thanks for the heads-up!

I want the old-style monitor screens - the ones above Spock's head. Someone scan me a Spyrograph drawing.

Not to mention the "electronic cricket" sound effects that made the bridge sound like Camp Jellystone 2400. Wee-oo ... wee-ooooo ....

Yeah Baby. I've been looking for something like this for a long time.

There was a similar module for AfterDark for Macintosh, was there not? A lot of the screen shots look familiar.

The After Dark module that you were speaking of did have a Star Treak TNG monitor, but it wasn't nearly as nice as this one, and from what I can tell, this one was built from scratch. Additionally, After Dark is now a defunct product and has been for several years.

I must say this is the coolest screen saver I've seen for quite some time. Thanks for the link.
