167785 2003-08-14 10:56:00 Has anyone else noticed that this screensaver has an annoying flaw, by not choosing images from the selected folder randomly? ie some pictures come up far more frequently than others? Some hardly ever come up.
One has to live with it, I suppose.

167786 2003-08-14 11:02:00 guess that's what you get when its random, if it played them evenly, would it be random?? :) :) iron-zeus (3479)
167787 2003-08-14 11:16:00 random means that every image has the same chance of being chosen.
with this screensaver, some images have a far greater chance of being chosen than others.

Takes away the element of surprise to a certain extent though.
