- Even if the backlight is off, the screen can burn in. If the screen has been
- on for 24 hours or less, the problem is usually solved by putting the machine
- to sleep for the same amount of time. For longer burn-ins, Apple reports that
- the damage can be permanent.

- A screen saver that does animation on the screen and touches every pixel
- now and then seems to be the optimal solution, if you keep the machine
- plugged in and running for long periods of time.
