Description: Inside and outside of the stylish Audi TT. Features mini video shots - skid pad action and fancy clips of the cockpit including a through-the-gears redline sequence and a maxed speedo.

The version with sound makes this an especially hyper screen saver.

Choice of different Mac versions; essentially the same but you get progressively better video clips for the larger downloads. The High end one may choke anything less than a Power Mac (if you can manage to pry open the compressed file).

Description: An interactive romp in the swamp with Frank & Louie. The two lizards toss happy-hour banter at each other, and when you click on them, you too. Several “hot spots” in this interactive saver make strange happenings. Watch for an occasional appearance by the blimp and the also the ferret.

Tip: The download expands into an installer. Running the installer places “BudSaver99” in your control panels folder and creates a document named “Installer Log File”. You can toss the log file, it doesn't do anything
