Cool screensaver

Has anyone else downloaded the speedo screen saver from the MINI website? I just did and it is the coolest thing I have seen in a long time

I downloaded the "desktop decoy" a while ago. It was funny, but useless for me because I don't work at an office. I'll have to try this new screen saver.

I have had the speedo screen saver on my system for well over a year. The bad news is that my 19" CRT now has the mini circle perm burned into the screen. Dag-nabit. I guess it's time for a new LCD monitor.

Ok, i need some help please. I just downloaded this screensaver from the MINI website and saved it in a folder on my C drive. I'm not sure how to activate it as a screensaver. Where do I need to save it to make it work?

Thanks in advance.

I'm using one of the images off the miniusa.com website as my desktop at work. I photoshop'ed the original to make it germane to my personal (future) config.

Thanks!

I'm still working on the Piano Black surface. My MA didn't tell me about that when I told him I wanted the color line, and I didn't know about it when I ordered. It looks so much better than the standard light silver.

I e-mailed my MA yesterday, but I got no response; I had my friend call, but he had to leave a voicemail. Unfortunately, I've got acute thyroiditis right now and can't talk myself. Yesterday, when I e-mailed the change request, my car was still On Order, so it wouldn't be a big deal. This morning, it's Scheduled for Production, so I don't know what they'll say.

I just think the Piano Black with the color line will look a lot better than just this:

Woo hoo! "Talked" to them today, and they're going to go ahead and make a new order for me. If there's anyone who wants a MY/B, they'll have one on the lot now in about 4-6 weeks.

I'm really impressed with San Antonio this go-around!

With as much of a PIA I've been, maybe I should consider naming her Sally (from "When Harry Met Sally") Lol.
