The new MSN screensaver for Windows platforms indicates that it displays feeds.
Best to use it only with work safe feeds, otherwise you could find who knows what dancing across your monitor while you aren’t looking.
(I found this on some source in my aggregator. The fire alarm interrupted me and I forgot where I saw it.)

I created a new department for items about computers because I find that I write about them enough, especially my laptop, that having a clear place to stick the entries is a good idea.
My computer had a small mishap Thursday night involving a cat and a 3 foot fall to the floor from a bed.
