'Starfield Simulation' screen saver in Windows 7 64-bit

The only screen saver in Windows 7 64-bit that I actually like is "Ribbons". All the others are terrible and require way too much horsepower just to run a frickin' screen saver.

I received this in email. 99% of the time I can't stand receiving joke emails, but this is the 1% of the time where it's pretty good.

This is a slightly embarrassing story considering how much I know about computers, but I'm sure it will help out a few people.

Intermission and Drive-ins

Back in the days of olde, all movie theaters and drive-ins had a break half-way through the movie called intermission. It originates from stage performances where the show would take a break so the actors could get a breather.
