When I wrote the Brightness Control Panel 
I worried about all of these issues.

It turns out that the screen is not protected that much more
by going from mostly dark to dark.

Apple doesn't care what you use a 
Macintosh for as long as you use one. :+)
A Classic makes a great file server(shameless plug).

The Brightness Control Panel calls the .screen driver.
You can make a hack to call it directly, but It may change
and your thing will break. You have been warned.

I think Apple should make screen savers part of system software.
Not fancy ones, just a basic one.
