Another thing the FLEX does not do, that screen savers
like Moire and Autoblack do, is let things continue running
while it's blanked.  This IS A MUST.  Flex does have a
background switch, but this still does not let things like
downloads continue when the screen saver cuts in.  A screen
saver is simply not usable until it allows this.

Also, try running the Apple's DA "Find File", starting a search for
things you know you have, and then immediately blanking the
screen - It doesn't quite work right, does it?
