      i use nothing, leave my computer on 24/7.. no screen saver or anything..

      reboot every few days when the memory leaks from certain programs get too much.

                      SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

                          Hahaha .. this isn't 1990 bro. Screensavers are not neccessary for any monitor made in the last 5 years. They are only for 'fun' now.

                              how old is your computer?
                              Why geeks like computers: unzip, strip, touch, finger, grep, mount, fsck, ram, more, yes,fsck,fsck,fsck,umount, sleep.

                                      I dare your fucking asses to leave a monitor on 24/7 on the same image for days on end.

                                      Try it and tell me.

                                          Seeing as we are webmasters my bet is they don't leave it on the same image for more than a few hours... in between checking stats they probably jerk off a few times.

                                                      All I do is just turn off the monitor.

                                                          My monitor does the standby thing after 10 minutes, but I never let my harddrive do the power saving thing. It just doesn't seem to like to reboot again after.
