Great screen savers, I download a few from this site before and still uses them until i read an article about "Why You Should Get Rid of Your Screen Saver" Link: http://www.interrupt19.com/2009/01/05/get-rid-of-your-screen-saver/

I usually use my screen saver when I am going to idle for certain period of time. Because Mac got a security protection when we're going to release the lock from screen saver mode, it's particularly useful for me.


Indeed, it's not a wise move to run screen saver for the whole day/night.

I'm glad you posted this website about the screen, now I will be turning off my screen on my Macbook Pro from now on.

Although I agree it’s a good idea to just turn off your screen instead of running a screen saver, I have to disagree that LCD screens cannot develop “burn in.” I have seen it many times working for different companies. Even the Apple Cinema Displays get burn in. In fact, my cousin’s LCD screen has burn in from where he left up a map for weeks.

CRTs were much worse, but an LCD can still have that horrible ghosting affect.

Honestly, I've always been more of a fan of just putting the monitor to sleep than screen savers. Sure they look pretty awesome, but if you're sitting at your computer, are you really doing so with the screen saver on?Good luck for the dates. It has been some times since we last heard about the next tour. I hope they can run it accordingly now.cnjyyMqG9mBCBwKE
