The book does explain screen savers and ghosting, but I believe your writeup reached the students more easily than the book.Thanks! Amrinder Hi Ryan,

I used your article as a reading assignment in my Computer Science 101 class – the students really liked it. The book does explain screen savers and ghosting, but I believe your writeup reached the students more easily than the book.

Thanks!
