Let me interject this into the discussion about screen savers and whether or not they help: go into your local campus video arcade(s) and look at some of the games that aren't in use or aren't very popular. Burn-in does occur, and is a real pain. There are any number of good screen savers out there, ranging from very inexpensive (Pyro!, for one) to absolutely FREE, so I see no reason to use one. I'm using Pyro!, and I leave my Plus and Jasmine DD40 on 24 hrs/day. It's always worked flawlessly, never caused problems, and works without my needing to pay attention to it. My point is, you've got everything to gain and nothing to lose in using a screen saver, so I don't see why anyone would be so against it. --Adam-- -- Adam Frix via cmhGate - Net 226 fido<=>uucp gateway Col, OH UUCP: ...!osu-cis!n8emr!cmhgate!200!Adam.Frix INET: Adam.Frix@f200.n226.z1.FIDONET.ORG
