    Y'all asked and then someone tossed out the idea of the MINI of the Month winners in a screen saver. After a bit of research a tool to create a screen saver was purchased and a screen saver created.

    There are two versions, both have the same content.

    These were created on my virus and trojan free PC, they are safe to use.

    For Windows users there is the option of a self installing .exe file for those that know how to use the .scr file there is that as well.

    Download Self Installing Windows version.

    Download Windows or Mac convertible .scr version.

    For Mac users there is a procedure I found but the software costs a few bucks or it will add it's name to the screen too.

    Go to File Juicer - Extract images from PDF, PowerPoint, Word, Excel and other Files on Mac OS X

    Download "FileJuicer" and install it.
    Launch FileJuicer and select "Preferences" from the "FileJuicer" menu.
    Click "Uncheck All" then select JPEG and "Inflate" and "Zip, Cab".
    Drag the MA Screensaver 1.1.scr file onto the "FileJuicer" icon or into its window.
    The images will be extracted and placed in a folder.
    Drag the folder to your "Pictures" folder (or any sensible place).

    Click on the Apple icon in the OSX menu bar and select "System Preferences".
    Click on "Desktop & Screensaver".
    Click on "Choose folder".
    Navigate to the jpg folder containing the images and select it.
    Click on the "Hot Corners" button and set these as you wish.
    Quit "System Preferences".
    Now move your mouse cursor to a "hot corner" and the slideshow will begin.

    Note: "FileJuicer" is shareware. If you don't pay the images will be stamped "FileJuicer".

    My wife was sitting at the desk last night when the screen saver came on. She stopped what she was doing and just watched. That is a good sign I think.
