I wonder if anyone would be interested in writing a perl script that could be distributed with a screen saver. Or maybe the script could run as a daemon that watches for the screen saver. As long as it finds the screen saver process it can do it's thing in the background and then send (via e-mail, http, etc.) the results to a person or group of people willing to donate cpu time to puting it all together looking for Shakespearian works,functional perl scripts, etc. All of this a la SETI@home. I may look into it, but given my present skills it may be faster to round up the actual monkeys. :) eclecticIO "Given the pace of technology, I propose we leave math to the machines and go play outside."
