I walked past the laptop today and noticed it had a slideshow running.
My dad found a screensaver called "GLSlideshow" that does exactly what
he wants.

Of course, we would've found this screensaver instantly if the
typeaheadfind feature had indeed worked, or if it had a name that made
sense, like "Slideshow."

My parents don't have the faintest idea what "GL" means.
