- Long Description:
- -----------------
-
- BLANK-IT(tm) is a program that will black out the computer display
- after a certain "timeout" period so that the computer screen won't
- become burned-in. "Burn in" can result from having a computer
- screen displaying the same image for long periods of time, and
- ruins a monitor necessitating it's replacement. Screen burn-in
- is NOT uncommon.
-
- BLANK-IT defaults to a timeout of ten (10) minutes, which can be
- customized by the user for any value from zero (0) to fifty-nine (59)
- minutes. As long as keys are being pressed, the screen will not
- blank out, and there will be no evidence at all that BLANK-IT is
- even running. However, if the timeout period is reached (since the
- last keystroke) then the screen will automatically blank. When the
- space bar is pressed, the screen will reappear and the user will be
- right where he/she left off.
-
- BLANK-IT contains several advanced features such as a quick-blank
- "hot key" (sometimes referred to as a "Boss Key"), mouse support,
- Windows compatibility, and the ability to enable/disable BLANK-IT
- while it's loaded. Please refer to the documentation for more details
- on this excellent package.
