At Rutgers we have large labs with many machines in them.  About a
year ago, we decommisioned a lab full of Lisa (Macintosh XL) computers
after they had been used for 3-4 years.  As we were unbolting them and
piling them on pallets, it was obvious that they had been running Mac
Software for years.  The menu bar with the apple file and edit menus
visible was clearly burned into the top of the CRT and some had the
trash can and default boot disk icons burned in too.   It does happen.

Screen savers can help delay it.
