Let me interject this into the discussion about screen savers and whether
or not they help:  go into your local campus video arcade(s) and look at
some of the games that aren't in use or aren't very popular.  Burn-in does 
occur, and is a real pain.  There are any number of good screen savers out 
there, ranging from very inexpensive (Pyro!, for one) to absolutely FREE,
so I see no reason to use one.  I'm using Pyro!, and I leave my Plus and
Jasmine DD40 on 24 hrs/day.  It's always worked flawlessly, never caused
problems, and works without my needing to pay attention to it.  My point
is, you've got everything to gain and nothing to lose in using a screen
saver, so I don't see why anyone would be so against it.
