Awesome, thanks for the link...however, the AAPL stock idea would be one (and unfortunately) small roller coaster...

Cool screen saver! But it needs some sound effects. And an accompanying chair that shakes like a real roller coaster

When Apple's Stock go down, Steve Jobs will probably hear someone in the building screaming in happiness

I guess this could be a bad influence to Apple's Stock.

Specify: the download is not working for me because the server www.subsume.com does not exist, or so my ISP's DNS servers tell me.

BWAHAHAA!

Did this conjure up memores of that app that shipped when my 7500 and OpenGL were brand new.... it was all about little furry creatures that went along on the roller coaster track and could bounce each other off if they did it right.

At least I think it was with my 7500. Maybe it came with the ATI XClaim VR card tho.... to show off it's uber-cool graphics acceleration and whopping 4megs of VRAM!

Someone back me up here that I'm not making this up....

The app you're thingking of was called 'Gerbils!', and was created by Pangea Software in 1996 as a demo app for Apple to ship with its QuickDraw 3D graphics library... back way before OpenGL came to the Mac.

You suck, Adam! This screensaver sucks!

Nothing worse than being reminded that I'm running a TiBook with 8 megs of video memory.

Seriously, I bet this is cool, but it's so damn slow on my machine. Guess I gotta upgrade.
