I saw that histogram plot and wondered, should I care about the median or the worst case on the far right of the plot? The old, non-graphic test displays the worst case number. That is what everyone has been looking at. On Sat, Oct 3, 2020 at 1:25 PM Thaddeus Waldner wrote: > One of the new fe

Gentlemen, what is a screen saver good for in the days of TFT or LED screens? No tube, little power, eternal life - nothinh to save there any more! So, who put it in an actual current version of a program or OS and for what purpose? Peter Am 03.10.2020 um 12:44 schrieb andy pugh: On Sat, 3
