Default Screen saver for fluid dynamics

I have a new screensaver which you can download at
http://www.math.missouri.edu/~stephen/software/fluids/
Put Euler2d.scr in the place where screensavers are usually kept (e.g.
\windows\system32) and then select it in the usual way. The source code
is available in Euler2d.zip. Anyone is free to distribute according to
the very liberal licensing terms.

This simulates the two dimensional inviscid fluid flow.

I really don't know how to get this kind of news out, so if anyone knows
a better venue to advertise this kind of stuff, I would appreciate it.

Warning - this screensaver really eats up the CPU cycles, so don't use
it if you have some CPU intensive processes going on (or on a laptop
using only battery power.)

Although Stephen's screensaver may be harmless, I *must* point
out that the majority of TROJAN and SPYWARE INFECTIONS
are initiated by installing screensavers and similar programs.

This is a general warning and is not targeting this specific software.

And a great warning it is too actually. As a side note, Kaspersky (the only
one I trust) seemed to not mind it though I didn't bother installing it or
using it because, well, I don't actually use any screensavers at all. <g> I
suppose they could spam it at my forum if they really wanted?
