Screensaver Maker Recommendations?

I'd like to ask for some recommendations for programs that can be used to make screensavers from your images..

Requirements:
  • It doesnt have to be free, but it cant be over $30 or so.
  • It must support multiple monitors
  • It must be capable of building a nice installer that can be shared with others.

If you want to skip to the chase here is the one I went with (gphotoshow) and two others I liked: https://www.donation...dex.php?topic=6035.0

Puki, The Sci-Fi Baby Shooter Flash Game of the Day

Screenshot - 10_6_2006 , 12_30_31 PM_thumb.png
This game is actually a bit deeper than it looks at first and is very well done.  Make sure you read the instructions for how to crouch and stuff.

F*cks per source package and license

Screenshot - 10_5_2006 , 9_18_17 PM.png
...
Here, we can see that, while the number of fucks never even gets to 1% of the results, in the highest one, PHP, 0.5% of all the packages found by Google code contain the word fuck, or any of its derivatives, such as fucker, etc. Furthermore, after PHP, which is the language with most occurences of fuck, almost doubling the other two which compete for the second place, those being C and Perl, something not unexpected. The lowest ones, which is no surprise, are C# and Python, Python probably being the cleanest programming language of the ones sorted here.
...
It can be clearly seen that LGPL makes people swear, while GPL and BSD still do, but in a reduced manner.

I've seen similar counts based on language - this one graphs license type too :)

Kids Art Bot - A wonderful project if you have kids

Next time you and your budding young tinkerers need something to do on a rainy day, you should have no trouble scraping up the parts to put together this crude, drawing robot project that we saw at the Seattle Robotics Society Robothon.

Gateway - Robot Puzzle

Screenshot - 10_5_2006 , 12_38_11 AM_thumb.png
This is a seriously well done, unusual, fun flash puzzler, where you instruct a cool looking walking robot on what to do.
