RE: RE: [OT] PBX in a Flash - choppy sound in a VM ?

[Paul Gale <groups2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The screensaver can show info like weather, horoscopes, biorhythm!!!
(80's =
throwback anyone?!), RSS feeds etc - completely useless for me so far, so
I=
disabled it straight away (just clock now which is exactly what I want) - =
I guess the RSS feed may be the most interesting thing.

Email/messenger too - not interested in showing that - but some people
migh=
t like that.

Not sure about customising the data - it may be possible if you were to
red=
irect to a custom server. The settings are hard coded to connect to the
onl=
ine account from gigaset.net.

Just Googling found this on how to do it:
