Sorry, but it is nothing of the sort.

for starters the Nazi swastica arms point to the right ¬ The arms on the screensaver object point to the left.

Several nations of our native Americans used both symbols as did/do others such as the Hindu, Swedish, Danes, Arabs, Phoenicians, and a host of others including the Chinese and Egyptians and usually as a symbol of good luck. Why further someone's attempt to demonstrate "problems" where none exist?

The swastika has long been a powerful and positive symbol in a multitude of cultures spanning the globe. In Eastern cultures, the swastika is a symbol of Buddha. In China, the swastika also embodies the concepts of eternity, infinity and the universe. The Chinese word for the symbol is wan, and in Sanskrit, it is known as srivatsa.

Photos showing some past and present examples of the use of the swastika are presented below, as are links to an eye-opening eleven minute video.

I just tried it.

Nothing unusual there. I don't know what your point is.
