Caffeine is an innovative program that will temporarily suspend your screen saver / power saver settings. Why is this useful?

You see, changing your screen saver / power saver settings back and forth just to watch a movie can become quite cumbersome. (It requires somewhere between 5-7 clicks and usually 2-3 windows)
Enter caffeine. A simple, FREE program that only requires one click to turn on and two clicks to turn off. When it is on, your screen saver will not come on, once you are done with your movie or perhaps your business presentation, you simply turn it off and your screen saver settings are back to normal.
Another handy use for this program is primarily for college kids living on campus. Simply set your default screen saver time to 1 minute and turn the password feature on; run caffeine whenever you are using your computer.
If you need to walk away, turn caffeine off and you can rest assured your computer will go to your screen saver and be protected from Facebook hackers like Christina. (right Laura?)
So, give it a shot, come on your computer can’t drink coffee, so give it the next best thing…straight up Caffeine-(the legal alternative to cocaine)
