        No.

        Its an LCD--not a CRT with "glowing" phosphors that can be
burned-in.  You therefore have no need for a screensaver or anything of
that nature.

        Although there is a remote possibility that your backlight could
burn out, but that's another issue (and a very unlikely one--your machine
will be long obsolete before that's a concern--especially the way you cycle
through them, Robert!).
