Do I have to install the The Wolf Firm Virtual Aquarium as a screensaver?
That’s a tough question. We would like you to use the program as a screensaver because then, every time you take a break and return to your computer, our beautiful Wolf Firm crystal will be staring at you reminding you to send us work (please, pretty please..). However, the truth is that the program is not only a screensaver but can run as a separate program simply by double clicking on the fish icon. In fact, a lot of problems can be eliminated if you just run the program from the Desktop as a regular program instead of as a screensaver. This is because screensavers run at a very low priority, and can be “kicked out” by almost any other program that tries to run (e.g., your real work). Also, as a screensaver, the program uses more resources than it does running simply as a program. The choice is yours. You know our vote, but we won’t be mad if you run it as a program (that is, as long as you continue to send us work..).
