Selecting a screen saver
Caution
If you are using an external CRT monitor,
an image may get burned in on your
monitor screen if you leave your
notebook on for long periods of time
without using it. You should use a screen
saver which constantly changes its
image to avoid this damage. Flat panel
displays cannot be damaged with image
burn-in.
