Terramex: More like an overlay...there's just a ghostly image overlaying the actual screen. I'd post a pic if the machine in question weren't half a continent away from me.
I thought this was common knowledge, but here's a
link.
MMZ_TimeLord: Um, I already knew that stuff. Which is why I made a point of noting that the monitor was relatively modern, and that it was not set to turn off (that's an OS function, not monitor). Modern CRT monitors will burn in if you give 'em enough time.
I just thought it was funny that a screensaver app caused burn-in. I hope I didn't give off the impression that I thought this was some kind of serious risk associated with distributed computing?
