Ever forget about your appointments?
Who dreamed up the concept of the screen saver, anyway? Most of us don’t know that those barking puppies that used to pop up onscreen when our computers were at rest were there for a very specific reason. Some savvy Macintosh aficionados may know that screensavers were invented to serve a technical function. When computers came with monochrome CRT monitors, screensavers prevented phosphor burn-in. Those swimming fish, flying toasters and tail-wagging puppies, were onscreen for more than just entertainment.
But in the years since the invention of the personal computer, Macintosh has changed the computer industry. All computers now have LCD computer monitors instead of CRT monitors. Screensavers because Phosphor burn-in isn’t a concern, so screensavers serve mostly an entertainment function. If your Macintosh is at the office, your screen saver can serve a privacy function, as well, keeping your screen from the eyes of coworkers.
But screen savers serve many functions. We can post photos and graphics on our screensavers that express our individuality. Macintosh iCal and Address Book users might want a screensaver that’s more functional. Now it’s easy to get one. A company named PocketMac has come up with an application called PocketMac iCalScreenSaver. It projects all of your important iCal appointments as your screen saver when your computer’s at rest. PocketMac screensaver posts your iCal calendar day by day, week by week, until your entire month’s schedule is cycled onscreen. You can also choose to display your Address Book contacts.
Also, you can have PocketMac iCalScreenSaver displayed in four individual color schemes: sunset, blue-grey, tangerine and green. And you get the option of choosing which calendars you want to display on your iCal screen saver. Your business appointments can show up onscreen at the office and your personal appointments can appear when you’re at home, if that’s what you want. You can also exclude personal appointments from your iCal screensaver.
Installing PocketMac iCalScreenSaver on your Macintosh is really simple.
