I really like the beach and forest pictures in the screen savers, and I would like to have them as my desktop pictures. I went to:
/System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/
But I can't find the picture files. Does anyone know where to find them?

':' was the path separator on OS 9. Since HFS+ was the file system under OS 9, it uses
':' as its path separator, a legacy issue. Since OS X is a UNIX, ':' shows up as '/', the POSIX path separator, and vice-versa in the Terminal as well as in BSD and Cocoa apps. Carbon and AppleScript see the filenames like they are, with ':' as the separator, since they evolved from OS 9, although in many places it is now possible to use '/' when typing a path. '\' is not used as the path separator anywhere in OS X.

These screensavers are quite nice desktop backgrounds when running, too. They're slow enough to be undistractive, imho.

In additon to what was already explained, \ is required for paths that contain characters that would normally end an argument in a command. These include space, parentheses, and probably a good number more. For instance, if you want to cd to the Applications (Mac OS 9) folder, you'd need to do:
cd /Applications\ \(Mac\ OS\ 9\)
Without the \ it would think the spaces indicate new arguments, but cd only takes one argument so it will give an error.
Note that you can get around this by putting the path in quotes:
cd "/Applications (Mac OS 9)"

^ This stuff, although correct, applies only to the Terminal.
