Inspired by the eponymous screen saver from BeOS, Message paints text over and over again, in a variety of colors and sizes. The original BeOS Message would only display the output of the "fortune" program, but Message for Mac OS X lets you choose any command-line tool to supply its text. You can also type any text you like (something utilitarian, like "Be back soon," or silly/artsy, like Unicode dingbats).
