Re: Do You Have A Screensaver?


None here. My instincts were conditioned during the Windows 95 days, when screensavers would sometimes cause crashes and bsod's. That's almost certainly no longer the case, but my attitude has been why take any chances?

Re: Do You Have A Screensaver?

I use the picture slide show of some of my own digital pics.

My last flat panel monitor had the lower toolbar burned into the screen
just enough so it could be made out. Hopefully with this new monitor I can avoid that. I thought this wasn't supposed to happen with the newer
monitors out these days, especially the flat panel digitals
