Re: WMM2 as [free] Nannycam

Thank you Rehan for your thoughtful feedback.

It is perhaps unfortunate to characterize the motives of all members of the
WMM2 forum. Four members have resisted the screensaver tweak to WMM2. The
real reason a little added button that says "click here if you want to use
screensaver during time-limit capture" is resisted by four members of the
WMM2 Forum escapes me.

Adding a screensaver mode in addition to the default no-screensaver mode
would provide millions of concerned parents with an excellent simple
Nannycam. WMM2 is already installed on millions of computers and concerned
parents already own an excellent simple Nannycam. It's called Windows Movie
Maker 2. It just needs this simple screensaver tweak.
