Summary: Screen Burn-In Prevention

An up-coming issue of Amazing Computing will have a hack which does what PopCli
is said to do. That is, after a period of time, blank the  screen (actually, my
program puts  up  some  moving  eye  candy). Written  about   six months ago, i
doesn't use an input event handler to time idle time (I didn't want to get into
that at that time). Instead it uses a hack truely deserving that term.

Anyway, why not just turn your monitor off and leave the Amiga on? Doesn't the
monitor use more juice anyway? Or decrease the brightness and contrast and use
a screen-blanker and...
