We always called them screensavers, but at some point after screensavers were no longer really necessary, people started calling backgrounds screensavers. I don't know why I let it bother me so much.

Then there was a tv show called The Screensavers. That was fun.

Even old flatscreens had terrible burnin. Especially plasma, but nobody was using those for computering.

Flat CRTs or LCD/Plasma?
