I also found Electric Sheep at <http://www.electricsheep.org>, but I
can't get it to show anything other than either "Please wait whilst the
first sheep is downloaded" or a black screen if I manually download a
sheep pack (makes more sense if you read about the screensaver). Shame
- I'd like to get this going if possible.


Ever since I installed that electricsheep thing, this iG5 will SBOD when
going into the screen saver system preferences (well, if you select ES as a
screensaver it will) and the whole Mac becomes quite unresponsive (2.0 G5,
1GB). Activity monitor SBODs (ugh) at this point when trying to see what's
taking all the CPU, fans are going mad...

Now, we're big sheep fans round 'ere. We have sheep toys, glow in the dark
sheep light the way up the stairs and between the rooms, sheep mugs, etc. I'm
not happy with this electric sheep thing one bit though!

Been with Mac OS X about 3 years now but I've never had to do this before -
how do I remove a screen saver? If it's from System Preferences I'm SOL, can
I trash something in a Library somewhere or something else?
