I'm sure this must all have been asked before but what do you have as a screen saver.

For what it's worth, mine is as follows:

Paul and his three "kids" - friends from London we met last year in Calis (good memories).

Yours truly on the Calis beach front wall.(totally chilled)

Mrs. H.(surprise, surprise)

Calis sunset (well, don't we all have one).

Eilean Donan Castle (a favourite photo).

Mrs H, myself, Gul and Andy at Letoon (good friends).

Rachel (our daughter) and Cameron (our grandson).

Rocks (seemed like a good idea at the time).

Library at Ephesus (stunning).

Cowboy, Sezgi (spelling ?) and Nevra at Letoon. (nice one)

Clark, McGinley and Harrington on balcony after Ryder Cup victory (brilliant).

Turkish ladies baking bread on under tents on a beach. (the real Turkey ?)

Gardens at Letoon (peaceful).

Cameron (a cutie).

Nevra and Gul dancing on bar at Letoon on night of Brenda's mother's 80th. (what a night !)

Turkish ladies baking bread at trout farm.(decent photo for a change)

Team photo taken before the start of Mrs. H's birthday party at Scarlett (can remmber it like it was yesterday).

Northern lights over Shetland (spectacular).

My Screen background is::::

Just for info - you may or may not know, but screensavers actually hammer the processor and could in time shorten the life of the graphics and main processors.
To test (on XP) press control - alt and delete - then look at what percentage the processor is running at (CPU Usage). Then switch the screen saver off and look again. Even worse on anything that is 3D too.

The same was I came across the sunset photo I posted around the same time. Doing something that can loosely be termed "research"  :)
