This Thanksgiving season, add an inspirational message or holiday sentiment on the family computer by downloading and installing these free family-friendly computer screensavers.
Screensavers were originally intended to prevent phosphor burn-in, or screen burn, on CRT computer monitors. With current monitors, screen burn is not as problematic as it was once.
