Phate Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 Does anyone know where I could get a really cool screensaver, like the William baldwin had on his PC in the Movie "Sliver". It was like dripping liquid or the contents of a lava lamp. :D Phate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shirley_Crabtree Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 Sorry to go off-topic but do people actually use screen savers nowadays?The way I see it screen savers were only necessary to prevent images being "burnt" onto monitors but I've been told that modern monitors don't suffer this affliction!!I never use screen saver mode....in fact I disable ALL of the power saving options by default :blink: ...Am I the only one??Cheers.Shirl.

Guest LB Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 beg to differ there andsome, we have a screen at work that displays nothing but a menu option screen all day (it acts as a server for some scales), when you actually choose an option on the menu screen, the menu is still visible in a strange ghostly way!!
