If you're really interested in a screen saver so the phosphorus won't burn out on the CRTs left overnight (as opposed to aesthetical desire for cutesy flying toasters), the PM Workplace's LOCKUP feature has been serving us nicely. To activate: click the right button on the desktop, go to open settings, go to lockup (the last tab). Tell the system to lock up after 10 minutes of inactivity, specify some obvious password, and no background picture. If a machine is left unattended, the screen will eventually go black, with a little padlock floating around it. Unlike some screen savers you must type a password, rather than just press a key, but it can be something easy to type, like 1 letter. Can't beat the price and it doesn't need any installation. :) Dimitri
