| Guest | Re: screen saver That seems odd to me. What good is a screen saver if it doesn't save your screen by blanking it?

| Guest | Re: screen saver I'm not a hardware expert, but as I understand it screensavers have long since ceased to do squat for saving the screen. They're there just as an attractive artistic alternative to staring at a black screen, I would suppose. One of the hardware boys may provide a more in-depth analysis. -- Jon "technerd" <technerd@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:F2401E5D-17B7-4166-8081-F534EFD1845E@microsoft.com... > That seems odd to me.

True. > They're there just as an > attractive artistic alternative to staring at a black screen, I would > suppose. Not quite. The main value of a screensaver these days is so someone in an office can leave his desk without leaving what he was doing visible to passers-by. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP Windows - Shell/User Please Reply to the Newsgroup |
