Description:

Out To Lunch provides a 'screen blanking' program to help prevent
'screen burn in' when your monitor is left on for long periods of time
with an unchanging display.

After a pre-set time in which Out to Lunch detects no key presses or mouse
movements it will blank out the screen, replacing it with a simple animation
(which lets you know that your monitor is actually on!). If you press any
key or move the mouse the desktop will reappear. The desktop will also
reappear if another program opens a window on the top of the window 'stack'.

Other desktop programs will continue to run while Out to Lunch is blanking
the screen. Thus printing and file transfer via the serial port (for
example) will continue to work.
