          It seems that Windows Vista screensavers also work on Windows XP. I'm downloading them right now.

            The CRTs had start up times, so Screen Savers made sense. The LCDs don't, so might as well just turn them off.

                Modern monitors don't need screensavers, IIRC.

                  Correct.

                  Back in the early days, say when Pong was around, screens could have an image burnt in if the image remained onscreen for too long....like with arcade Pong games. So screensavers came along to create moving images.

                  The joke is that most screensavers now--such as the popular fishtank one--consists of a basically static image (the fish tank) is which just a small part (the fish) move. Thus, they are not true screensavers.

                    I used to use them with password protect. Supposedly to make my computer more secure. I usually just turn off my computer if away for an extended time. Other than that, my monitor shuts off after 8 minutes automatically.
