Sorry for the necropost...
I'm not sure it is absolutely my favorite, but it is the first one that came to mind. Back in 1992-93 I was working as a technical writer when I got assigned to a new project. I showed up to claim my new cube and it came with a Mac IIfx with a two...
Yeah, it's basically evening out the damage.
The most stupid way of screen saving I ever heard of :-)
The display runs white on black from 6:00pm to 6am and black on white from 6am to 6pm. This should prevent, or at least even out, screen burn-in.
I've downloaded it, even runs with 'Classic' and 'Tiger'.
Nice and easy - thanks for posting the link.

I have a Classic II sitting around here with a logic board that won't read an HD (internal or external).

- So much for the quality of my inventory information. I found a Macintosh IIsi on a shelf in the basement that I missed earlier.
