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.
