   How did you find out about Alt+1 ?   
      
   Same results here, THANK YOU - but I get a blinking starry sky effect.   
      
   And, *any* other key press brings us out of the screen saver.   
      
   Screen savers like this are a kind of relic of the past, aren't they?  I     
   concur wrt crt monitors.   
      
   Furthermore, the starry sky seems to operate annoyingly too fast - as if     
   it was intended to work on much slower computers of days gone by.
