Screen Saver

[Leonard Chatagnier]

Ahh Ray Parrish, you are the one that better calm down.  I've followed you
thread from start to finish but it's so long that I and I expect most everyone else can't remember all the things suggested and tried.  Your attitude is not one that inspires the list to help you.  And your response to the one offering a suggestion below is uncalled for even if you've tried it. You need to either grow up or turn the heat on sooner when cold weather comes so it doesn't freeze your brain.  There was no call for your response to the person trying to help you out.  Frankly, I don' t give a damn if you ever solve your screen saver issue as it's not a critical problem anyway.

fwiw.
