- A quote from page 134 of The PowerBook Companion, by Richard Wolfson:
-
- "There's no danger of burn-in on a PowerBook screen; this concern is
- limited to phosphor monitors. So, if your system's not running on battery
- power, you don't have to worry about putting it to sleep or using a
- screen saver."
