Screen protector

I don't believe that I have ever heard of a screen saver written for the Apple I computer. I would be a simple job to program, though. I'm thinking that a short BASIC or assembly program that would type a line of text, then check for a key-stroke to end the routine, and repeat the text line. The scrolling text should easily prevent the screen burn-in. The only problem I would want to consider, is the start-up of the program. Since the Apple I computer does not come with a timer, the user would have to start the screen-saver each time it was needed. As fast as the boot-up is on the Apple-I, it might be just as easy to turn off the computer or just turn off the monitor.
