Webpage as screensaver?

Anyone know how to use a webpage for the screensaver? I think it would
be cool to have a NewsMap screensaver

Well, if anyone's curious I figured out a roundabout way to do it.
First I convert the webpage to a bmp using url2bmp. I do this every
hour using a Windows Scheduled Task. Then I set the screensaver to
point to the image (Windows XP has a My Pictures Slideshow that I'm
using).

IE4 used to come with a screensaver called "channel saver" that did this.

may still find it around somewhere.
