You should try the Ulysses S. Grant screen-saver--the documentation promises
that it will come up on the screen if it takes all summer.

I'm surprised that simply putting it on your machine did not corrupt your
entire hard drive.

And the code is so flexible that it works regardless of the system resources
available -- it figures out how to make do with what is there.

My version of the McClellan screen-saver refused to come up unless
it was given more pixels. The the Lincoln screen-saver popped up
a message asking the McClellan screen-saver whether, if it wasn't
going to come up, if it could borrow the screen for a while.

Well that wouldn't be so bad, I got a Sickles screen-saver and it goes
off on its own, even when I don't tell it to. Of course that's better
than the Forrest screen saver, it saved the monitor fine, but I lost
thirty desktop units that the monitor rode on.

I have the Schimmelfennig screen saver. I try to put it in my
startup directory but I can never find it there; somehow it
seems to be hiding itself in C:\PIGSTY.

Hey, until now the only screensaver post I've seen is the
first one. Lessee....
My Gideon Pillow screensaver always defaults to the John Floyd
screensaver, which defaults to the S.B. Buckner screensaver,
which then runs the U.S. Grant screen saver.
The George B. McClellan screen saver always demands more speed
and memory, runs for a few minutes, and then denounces the
programmer.
The Nathan B. Forrest screen saver looks impressive and works
great, but starts itself when I'm not looking. And I haven't
even installed it.

The Hunley screen saver is good.
Everytime the system 'goes down' it comes right back up.
It's an 'executible' that uses a sub-routine.
I think there's too much RAM in it though because it almost sticks.
One of these days maybe I'll up-grade.

If you wish to use the John Pope screen-saver, you must
first remove the George McClellan screen-saver from your
system.

The Sherman screen-saver will remain active even if your

Oh yes, still that is better than my Burnside screen saver, it worked
fine, but suddenly my network packets wouldn't cross our network
bridge, not to mention that I came in one day and it had cratered my
hard disk.

I hear it also had a terrible problem with being router(ed) when in a

But for the life of me, I can't figure out what happened with my Fort
Pillow screen saver. The user says one thing, and the software
company says another . . .

No one here seems to have mentioned the John Brown screen saver.
It siezes control of the CPU promising to free memory but permanently
eliminates the first free block it encounters and ends up getting hung.

Actually, it is the Stanton scr which pops and enters the plea. Of late,
however, the plea has had only on leg to stand on.

Actually, I've heard that the Seward screen saver routinely rings a
bell and banishes other screen savers to the recycle bin . . .

Actually my Seward screen saver deletes other programs with the ring of
a bell, in which case only my Abraham Lincoln disk doctor can retrieve
them.

Hey, Guys and Gals,
This is too much. I have enjoyed this thread too much. All of you have
made me laugh all the time.
Now here is a serious question which needs resolution: I have an Abraham
Lincoln screensaver. When it gets to the Black Hawk War, it hangs. Should
it be the Negroe, Black, Afro-American, or African-American ...War? Or,
none of the above?
My KKK screensaver is a lot more simple.

I have a different problem. I installed the Selby screensaver. The CPU
ran across the desk, shot about 50 floppys at me, and was gone before I
could respond!

Ain't it a small world. My copy of the JC Davis screen saver arrived the
other day, but the software company must have gotten something wrong: All
I get is little puppies on my screen.
But I must say that the Davis screen saver has really captured a huge
market here in Rome, Georgia.

I called to order several screen savers and, before any of the others
got here, the Nathan Bedford Forrest screen saver arrived and came with
plenty of extra graphics.
Quite frankly, it got here firstest with the mostest.
When I loaded the Forrest screen saver, it immediately captured the
hard-drive space formerly occupied by my Streight screen saver.
Warning: The Forrest screen saver is incompatible with the Bragg and
Wheeler screen savers.

Funny thing, I was playing my Antietam simulation game the other day, and
the Yankees were winning. I was about to order a retreat, but then my A.P.
Hill screen saver came up.

RStacy2229
When I opened my D.H. Hill screen saver package, I couldn't find the
instructions, so I just loaded the disk and got a message to check with
the Stonewall Jackson screen saver, but while I was doing that, the
McClellan screen saver popped up, with a message claiming that with this
program (secret.exe) it could whip the Bobby Lee screen saver.

Ther are some who say that the source for the Civil War screen
saver was the screen saver depicting African-Americans picking
cotten, of course, any true student of the Civil War Screen savers
knows it was the Carolina screen saver.

I understand that said Forrest screen saver routinely threatens the
user if the Bragg screen saver tries to give valid commands to it.

Yes, I know it's poor taste to reply to your own posts, but someone
wanted a Stanton screen saver.
My Stanton screen saver, upon installation, immediately began
censoring all communications both in and out of my comm ports.

I had a similar problem with my Eckert screen saver, which seems
to lose the last packet every once in a while.

There is now a fairly comprehensive list of these screen savers at:
