CNET Editors' review
Despite all the flashy effects available on modern PCs, the simplest functions sometimes remain the most elegant. AJScreensaver does nothing more than display the current time as a screensaver, but provides 14 clock designs to give the desktop some flair. We were particularly taken with a digital clock done in a handwritten script. There are few options to the program--all a user can do is select a clock or choose to display a random design. We would like to see a few more features, such as the ability to make the clocks tick, but the software does the simple task it promises quite well.
Publisher's Description
From Anne Jan:
AJScreensaver displays the real time by one of 14 clocks. E.g. the handwritten digital clock of Yugo Nakamura, the timeline of Insertmonley a Railwayclock, and 8 clocks of Charles Salim (a Mickey Mouse clock, Hans Donner, Time Dimension). Version 0.3 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

"A variety of screensaving clocks"
Version: AJScreensaver 0.3
Pros
Some clocks looked 3D
Cons
Didn't care for some of the clock choices
Summary
I chose the Roman Numeral analog clock and it looked realistic. Some of the art deco and cartoon and ultra-modern clocks I didn't care for. I wish the clock I chose came with a transparent background.
Someone, somewhere, who loves clocks, is someday going to create a chiming pendulum wallclock screensaver (like the Regulator school clocks) that chimes on the hour and half-hour, and tick-tocks. I'll be first in line. -

Cons
Nothing yet. I'll know more after more useage of the product.
Summary
It does what it says it will do. Lots of skins to choose from. Mickey Mouse skin is grandsons favorite.
