I've had access to Skyrocket for several years. It is one of the best screensavers that I have ever had. When it comes to fireworks there is nothing that even comes close to it. I have a question for the developer. In the past, the screensaver would send up and fire an impossible firework. It would last longer than the rest of the fireworks and do impossible beautiful visual things. I never timed it to find out how often the impossible firework would happen. My question is: does this still happen in your program?

I discovered this masterful creation years ago and it still wows me and others who view it. Brilliantly conceived and implemented. Fireworks done right! The whole scene comes together just beautifully. One of the finest screensavers out there today.

I tried to update this screen-saver, it says compatible with Snow Leopard but it won't work.
