Selecting a screen saver

Caution

If you are using a monitor (not a flat-panel display), an image may get burned in on your monitor screen if you leave your computer 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.
