We use screen savers so that we save the screen from being burnt out when a image is displayed in the same position for a long time. But if you make the screen black, all those electrons are back there at the gun, just yearning to be free, and probably burning out the X or Y deflection amplifiers. Yowch. On the same subject, why doesn't Apple just burn out the top of the screen when they ship. That way they wouldn't have to black out the menu bar in InitMenus. I have all sorts of good ideas like this. -- Terry Monks Automata Design Inc (703) 472-9400
