Another thing the FLEX does not do, that screen savers like Moire and Autoblack do, is let things continue running while it's blanked. This IS A MUST. Flex does have a background switch, but this still does not let things like downloads continue when the screen saver cuts in. A screen saver is simply not usable until it allows this. Also, try running the Apple's DA "Find File", starting a search for things you know you have, and then immediately blanking the screen - It doesn't quite work right, does it? :------------------------------------------------------------: : Tom Carstensen Usenet: tomc@mntgfx.MENTOR.COM : : Mentor Graphics Delphi: CARSTENSEN : : GEnie: CARSTENSEN : : : : . . .
