There have been some comments recently about potential damage resulting from the use of screen savers that change the screen to all black. Could someone please explain this? I thought the idea of a screen saver was to preserve the phosphorous by displaying nothing when the machine is not in use. I've been using Moshe Braner's (sp?) Idle 1.2 for about 2 years now on a 1040ST with a SM124 (monchrome) monitor and have noticed no ill effects. Am I slowly killing my monitor?? Doug Latornell latornell@mech.ubc.ca
