Is it really a screen-saver?

From Wikipedia.com.com:

"Monitors running screensavers consume the same amount of power as when running normally...

Additionally, using a screensaver with a flat panel or LCD screen instead of powering down the screen can actually reduce the lifetime of the display...As fluorescent tubes age, they grow progressively dimmer, and they can be expensive or difficult to replace..."

I can't stand that thing anyway. Whenever the screensaver starts to run on the monitor, I'll immediately perform the 'Press-Any-Key' ritual to get rid of it (I enjoy doing this too much to disable the screensaver mode in the settings)

Sometimes I wonder if I have OCD..Heehe
