screensavers for 8900

was searching the web and found this:

Maybe I'm stupid or the last one to figure it out but I was sick and tired of the only animated screen saver on the 8900 being that stupid girly flower blowing magic pollen in the air. This phone was really made for a girl.
I tried sending myself an animated fish gif a few months back but it didn’t recognize the format.
I accidentally found a forum which said that the 8900 used .SAF extension on its screensaver not .GIF . SAF stands for simple animation format.
After spending a whole day trying to find SAF animated files or an APP which would create or edit SAF files, I gave up.
This morning though I had a brain storm. Why not just try to change the .GIF extension on my old aquarium gif to .SAF .
I did and sent it to myself through my email.
Lo and behold.... a new animated background screensaver. WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Try it guys and please post some links to nice free animated GIF websites for all of us to use.
Thanks
