Screen Savers?

[admin]

Does anyone use screen savers anymore?
I'm trying to decide if it is worth my time to make screen savers of the pipe babes.

 

[unclearthur]

Never bother with screen savers myself. I have the computer set to go black after fifteen minutes.

I have screen savers ... would like new ones. or flash images like that old webshots deal I use to have. Is it still there?

 

[winton]

I would like a screen saver of pictures of pipes, etc. Too bonkers in love with my wife to be distracted by pipe babes.

I'm with Winton. I would love a screen saver of different pipe, but not the babes. That wouldn't work for home or work.

I never bother with them. I think their original intent was to keep pixels moving on CRT monitors to keep them from buring the screen. Those days are long gone.

I say it's worth the effort, Kevin--for both the pipes (i've been trolling the pipe-of-the-week lists and members' collections) and the babes. If I may add a suggestion, perhaps some members with really nice pictures would allow usage of their images for a pipesmagazine.com members collection screensaver? I certainly would.

My preference would be for old Pipe tobacco tin art. I

have plenty to choose from.

 

[winton]

I also like the tin art suggestion. There might be some copyright challanges with that approach.

I'm in for Pipe or Pipe Tin Art. :D

The last screen saver I used was the DOS 4.0 pipe maze . papipeguy has it right , I threw away my CRT monitor away along time ago , in a land far away , in a time better forgotten .

never use a screen saver anymore...after you hear the stats on how much energy is wasted by leaving your PC on for long periods of time, I've gotten so I turn mine off regularly.

I agree with the tin art idea. Plus I could get away with that with my wife. She is a graphic designer who loves older logos.

I would rather see a desktop wallpaper. I use those more than looking at screen saver. Plus usually when when my screen saver comes on I'm not around the computer, and I don't want to get distracted by watching it for a hour.

Oh yeah,.....cool wallpaper! With pipe-babes!
My whole man-cave wallpapered with pipe-babes!! And a "Keep Out"" sign on the door!
I almost forgot what a screen saver was. But seriously, a few desk-top photos or magazine covers would be cool!

Nice ideas on using pipes, members pipes and old tin art.
I personally don't have any antique-ish tins, so would need some help.
I like the ideas guys, but they will take a lot more time and effort than just grabbing the photos I already own. I'm not saying "no". I'm just saying it isn't going to happen in the next month or two, but maybe later this year.

No worries mate ! As they say in Australia

 

[yoru]

I'd like to use one of pipes, the babes don't really interest me (do the words confirmed bachelor mean anything to you)-- but then I turn off my monitors when I leave my desk. . .. Schande.

I scored some vintage tobacco tins from a couple of antique shops yesterday.
