Driverguru ... it's almost hard to imagine that you are in fact the real deal. This thread is kind of like visiting the Acropolis and having Apollo descend from the sky to talk with you. :D

Emulating an entire OS just to run a screensaver sounds, well, incredible. I am no genius programmer for sure, but man that seems like a ton of work for a trivial result. I have no idea what the old AD modules contained, nor do I know what it takes to write an OS X screensaver module, but it seems that there's got to be an easier way than that to make the latter's engine use the former's resources. Maybe on-the-fly, maybe a one-time conversion, I don't know. I suppose it would take some real research into what we have (in AD modules) and what we need (in OS X), which gets into water deeper than I'm going to wade into right now.

I saw my Star Trek AD box sitting on a shelf in my garage as I was working around the house this weekend. Man that brought back memories. :)
