I hate screensavers.  Does anyone here still actually use a
screensaver?

Not only does xscreensaver suck up valuable CPU cycles, it
deliberately disables DPMS so that my monitor stays on all
night just so it can support the parasitic activity of
xscreensaver.

I say it is time to acknowledge that screensavers have been
made obsolete by (much) better technology, and move them to
the world of entertainment, i.e. pkgsrc/games.

I welcome any contrary opions.
