Great concept, major screensaver flaw

Feedback Type:  Review

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: YES

First, I think the concept is great and as a folding client, the program is wonderful.

For use as a screensaver, though, it has a major flaw: the logos stay on the bottom of the screen at all times. I've had to dock it a star because of that.

If your monitor will be sleeping, or you'll be running one of the other versions is the background, I highly recommend it. If you want it as a screensaver, beware the screen burn-in potential.

Great concept, major screensaver flaw - kcar27

Excellent warning about the logo in the corner causing burn-in. I found out the hard way. Fortunately, it's time to put this CRT out to pasture.
