Electric Sheep has to be one of the coolest screensaver programs I have ever seen. The best part of it is it is also free.
http://electricsheep.org/index.cgi?&menu=download
Electric Sheep is an open source screensaver that uses the community to build morphing abstracts. You can vote for an abstract you like and it will be added to the list of favorite abstracts.
The concept of sheep is that every time your computer kick on the screen saver or the computer "sleeps" it goes out and grabs sheep to generate what the screen saver will look like.
Download it and check it out!

Being safe in a chat room.
We at EWC do our best to provide a safe chatting environment for everyone. In the 9 years we have been running this site I can say that we have provided one of the safest environments that we could possible offer. What I am sad to share is that as much as we do around here it will never be enough. Technology allows us to filter, hide personal information and even block many of the harmful things on the Internet however what it does not prevent us from doing is keeping people from sharing personal information.
If you watched the news lately you will probably see quite a bit of talk around sites like Yahoo Groups, mishaps and many other community based website. There is a big "WhoHaa" about how much personal information is stored in chats, message boards and blogs on the internet.
It is IMPOSSIBLE for us to prevent you from sharing personal information over a real time chat room or message board.
Our recommendation is to never share personal information over the Internet with anyone you do not personally know. Even then information said in a public chat room can be seen by anyone. It is best to leave sharing personal information to the real world. We understand the friendships you form and we always here the "that's not going to happen to me" but trust us it can.
If you follow these few tips using community sites like EverywhereChat.com and many others will be a safe experience for everyone.
1. Never share personal information, even in private chats. You do not know who is watching and it is safer to use the Internet strictly as recreation.
2. You should run a firewall to protect your computer. Windows XP has one and it should be turned on. You can make sure by going to Start - Control Panel - Firewall
3. Run an anti virus program. AVG Anti Virus is FREE, yes FREE so install it if you do not have an anti virus or your antivirus doesn't update cause you need to buy the updates. A link is available http://www.everywherechat.com/downloads.asp
4. Do not accept files or attachments from anyone you do not know. These could be viruses or some other harmful program.
5. Don't share your email or phone number in public chat rooms. Robots scan public chat rooms for email addresses and phone numbers all the time. Luckily we filter and ban most of the these bots but it is impossible to ban them 100%.
6. Report anything you think is wrong to the staff in #support. We will help you if needed.
We hope these tips help you have a safer experience on everywherechat.com or any other website. Any questions feel free to contact us.
