Sun's "life" game (/usr/bin/lockscreen_default) is no screen saver.  It
burns the histogram of a game of life into the phosphor of your CRT.

That sentence in the lockscreen(1) manual page about "reduced phosphor
burn" was written either in ignorance or jest.  Our CRT's are burned with
the frozen images of little Sun logos.
