Just pull down the About... box to display all those signatures. If you leave that up, the screensaver will kick in on schedule. At least Moire does (put it in the startup system folder). When you want to login, just move the mouse and then click it (to make the about screen go away) to get back to the login prompt. Steve Anderson Cognitive Science Center The Johns Hopkins University
