                Screen Savers


                The term “screen saver” is sort of bogus; today’s flat-panel screens can’t

                develop “burn-in.” (You’re too young to remember, but screen savers were
                designed to bounce around a moving image to prevent permanent pixel
                discoloration on those old, bulky, CRT screens.) No, screen savers are
