anything you judge to be a milestone, if noone else does, your repcount may know about it though

EDIT: I don't think there's that much difference betwee the GUI and console, though. The FAQ says that the screensaver uses around 5% of the CPU. (is that the GUI version?) Windows users (in general) are probably more content with seeing something actually running rather than it running in the background, I imagine.

not all windows users want the eye candy

i have been using the eye gui cus when i started there wasn't an alternative afaik. But now im switching! Plus it means i can install in on all the machines i work with and it won't get affected

yay

Oh and i was right! I now have my 4th blue thing

yeah!!

O_O

My next WU ends in 31 days... It has over 3000 frames...

Anyways, thanks for the idea of using a console app, whoever said it first.
