BNSF Fans

[TrainTech]

For all you <Font Color="Orange">BNSF</Font> and other rail fans I create Train Screen Savers featuring photographs of trains I capture with a Digital Camera while railfanning. Currently I have <Font Color="Orange">3 BNSF</Font> Train Screen Savers available for downloading and a <Font Color="Blue">CSX</Font> version, more are always in the works! http://www.trainboard.com/wink.gif

All my screen savers are totally and completely <Font Color="Green">*FREE*</Font> http://www.trainboard.com/biggrin.gif, yes, absolutely <Font Color="Green">*FREE*</Font> http://www.trainboard.com/biggrin.gif, you just download, install and *enjoy* http://www.trainboard.com/biggrin.gif. No nag screens, no shareware screens, and best of all <Font Color="Green">***NO http://www.trainboard.com/eek.gif COST***</Font> just pictures of trains.

If there is any cost it is just the price you pay for your internet time while on-line, that I have no control over.

But if you like Train themed screen savers, no matter what the roadname come on over to my site and download any you may want or find there.

Here's the site url: http://www.trainweb.org/fcen-rr just click on the "Clay's Live Train Screen Savers" link near the bottom of the page.

I also downloaded one of the screen savers. Great pictures! But I feel the fades should be a bit faster - I was impatient to see the next picture!!! http://www.trainboard.com/smile.gif

Alan,
What speed is your computer and what processor does it use?

The reason I ask is I code these screen savers on a PII MMX Processor, 64MB and 400Mhz (I think it is 400). So on slower systems the fades may be a lot slower.

However I can speed them up in the program, but on faster systems some folks wouldn't get to see the photo for very long. This is the main reason I use a speed that I would hope would be good for everyone running one of my screen savers.

That and since I use a random display, this also slows the speed down a little (about 3%).

If I get a lot more folks complaining the effects are too slow for the transitions I'll speed them up in newer and/or updated versions.

Thanks for the feedback on that. I wouldn't know this otherwise.

Hi Clay, My computer has 350MHz processor and 128MB RAM.

I just wanted to say "THANKS" for the screen savers. Yes, they are a bit slow but I think they are grat. Thanks Again.

Did I say thanks? http://www.trainboard.com/smile.gif

You're welcome. The newest release and further releases should be somewhat faster. At least I hope they are. I have reset the timing and effects so the transitions should now operate much quicker, and, to me, they even looked smoother in the latest release (CSX MoW Version 3), versions 1 and 2 were released last year, but they aren't that good. These were my first attempts at a Train Themed Screen Saver and the software used was not as good as the latest version I now use. If you think these are slow you should have seen them, could've taken a nap between frames. Hee hee.

But if you download the newest screen saver, I hope you will see a remarkable improvement. If it's still too slow, by all means please let me know. I may have to drop the timing down a little more for newer systems (you'd think this would go the other way wouldn't you?).

But I'll always try to improve them and with the feedback I get from you folks that use them helps me to develop better and more complex screen savers in the future.
