Does any version of the SETI BOINC client have a working screensaver? Since upgrading to OS X Tiger, SETI Classic no longer works, but I won't move to BOINC until it has a working, configurable screensaver built into it.
TIA

Download the Boinc Manager GUI Seti Client.
It has a nice screen saver, to suck your cpu cycles and make pretty graphics that you can watch while your rank goes down

Cute. Don't really care about that, obviously. In SETI Classic I was always gaining ground on those above me because I leave my computer on 24/7. I don't really expect to rank high anyway with my lone computer when some have entire labs or buildings running it.

As mentioned the GUI version does have a screensaver. You can control the look and appearance of the screensaver through your account preferences. The default is a 3D moving display that I personally find annoying, but you can change it under the account preferences. The screensaver might not work with some optimized clients or apps. Not all BOINC projects (if you ever decide to move beyond SETI) have screensavers, but many do.
(mikkyo, be nice. Not everyone is as competitive as you, I, and a few others. Any cpu cycles is better then no CPU cycles. 2 individuals running the screensaver is as good as one individual not running it. The more the merrier and each to their own style.)
