Hi, I'm trying to get the Hills 1.2 screensaver but the download source is gone - is there anyone here who has it? If so, please PM me, thanks!

Since a couple of weeks there is a great new search website, Google...

I found what you were looking for in about (Results 1 - 10 of about 252,000 for Hills 1.2 screensaver) 0.04 seconds

Anyway, here's to the lazy ones: Download Hills 1.2 for Mac - Hills - Screensaver generates a landscape of rolling grassy hills - Softpedia

Cheers.

I know you think you are a genius right now, but none of the established download links work as the author's site is gone, which is why Im asking here. I should have stated that earlier, but I need a copy from someone who downloaded it before the source went away.

Ps - Google's been around for years.

I appreciate you effort to help - the sarcasm, not so much. Thanks for trying, but I need to find a copy amongst users now...

Internet Archive to the rescue:
Chris Kent : Hills

EDIT: Oh, suck. The download seems to be corrupted somehow.

Further update in this exciting saga:
The source code downloaded fine. Compiled fine. I uploaded a copy of the compiled screensaver here (compiled under Leopard, but should work in 10.4):

That's a pretty cool screensaver, thanks for pointing it out!
