How to Use Two Different Screen Savers

Screen savers were a feature first introduced in the mid 1980s. CRT monitors had the potential to be damaged should an image remain inert on their screens for too long; such could cause "burn-in," with images being permanently imprinted onto the CRT screen. Screen savers helped to obviate this danger, activating automatically after a certain amount of time and providing monitor screens with a nonstatic image.
