SnowSaver is a Cocoa OpenGL screensaver. It's modeled on the pretty
falling snowflakes animation that Apple have been running on an iMac in
the window of the local Apple store. (Theirs is actually a QuickTime
movie, and not available to customers. People have asked.)

Requires: Mac OS X 10.1, video card with plenty of texture memory.
(Works fine on Sawtooth G4 350MHz or anything more recent.)

Some video card OpenGL drivers have cosmetic texture-handling bugs;
there's nothing I can do to fix that. Apparently many of the bugs were
fixed in OS X 10.2.4.
