SCI FI PI

Best Star Trek Screensaver, Ever.

GADGETS

Monday, February 18

by Captain



Many of us search the web for the best skins, the best icons, the best sounds and the best looking wallpapers to make our computers ever so Sci Fi, but not too, too Sci Fi, in an overly geeky way.

However, there are times when a system of pictures or skins or even an entire theme is done so correctly that we cannot ignore them and must embrace them fully and immediately download them and display them proudly like grinning idiots...

As far as Star Trek fans go, your search for the ultimate screensaver is now over.

Not just a bunch of images from the films or dodgy fan-art, this is an unbelievably complex series of animated LCARS Okudagrams. Even non-SF people stop and stare when it pops up.

Made by www.MeWho.com, the screensaver is called System47, and it is utterly brilliant. It works on both Mac and Windows, and comes with or without authentic Star Trek sounds. If you have two screens, it plays discretely (and with different images) on both screens. That, Sci Fans, is what we're talking 'bout - yeeeah!

Click here to find out for yourself. Amazing to think that this has been on the net since 2006! Still haven't found anything better. If you feel like donating (in admiration) by all means do.

(PS:If you're wondering, we're not associated with mewho, nor do we get backcash - we just think this screensaver is awesome.)

    This screensaver has been on the internet for years; the 2006 version is simply the latest. It's the coolest screensaver I've ever found and I've had it on several machines for ages and have distributed it to other friends and workmates. I never get sick of it and never have any problems with it - highly recommended!
