I am of course not buying it, but am curious why that bit of software apparently hasn't been upgraded in a while (long enough for it or something else to whine about it). It is version 5.29 of xscreensaver, says it is dated Jun 2014, which I don't consider to be terribly old, but apparently newer is available. *Not* a big issue, but curious, any input from wiser heads ? TIA & have a good one. -- William A.
