"Doesn't Install on OS X v. 10.6.7"

rcupertino April 15, 2011 / Version: System 47 2.2.1

Pros

I've had System 47 running on my PC just fine and loved it.

Cons

Will not install successfully on my new MacBook Pro with OS X v. 10.6.7. It would have been very nice to see it on my new Mac.

Summary

I recently made the switch from PC to Mac after about 30-something years on PC's. I wish System 47 was still supported with new releases that would run on current-version operating systems. I loved seeing it run on my PC. It even used dual monitors with a different LCARS screen running on each at the same time. Wish they would re-introduce System 47 as a commercial product with full support. I'd buy it in a heartbeat!! :-)

Many thanks to the developer! This one of the best free savers you can get! The only request I have is to create a mute option inside the saver itself.

"Best Screen Saver in Years"

Back in the Day of Windows 3.1 I had a Star Trek Screensaver that I loved, and was the last time I ever used one. That is until now. This is the best screensaver I've used in almost 12 years now. And better yet, it's free.

I would have to agree. This is a fabulous screen saver. It should be listed on Apple's download page, but we all know how easy that is ;-).

"Freeware!"

Summary

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
The VersionTracker classification is wrong. This is NOT shareware; the documentation makes it very clear that it's freeware, and that it always will be.

And a very nice screensaver it is too, with excellent quality graphics and lots of variety. Great for Star Trek fans.

It's intriguing to watch, and made particularly good use of my double-monitor setup. Really great job.

Have watched it for about 3 minutes and it hasn't looped so far. A nice change from all the fish, batz and other 'creature' screensavers of late. Very nice!

"AWSOME! I can now show my true nerdy-ness, and..."

Summary

...still be lazy.
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Ease of Use, there isn't that much to be hard to begin with.

Support docs lack some info, but there really isn't that much to add so I go neutral on that.

Features, all I ask is that the selection for what to use in the saver is more than all or one of them Use check boxes, instead of a selector.

Quality, very good, I haven't run into any problems at all.

It says that it is Shareware on VT, but as far as I know it is free. The Docs say nothing on this. So I will give it 4/5 for Price.
