I can't seem to find out what this screensaver does. I guess it's a matrix type screensaver?

From the article:

"Now I like a good screensaver and phosphor (written by Jamie Zawinski) is one of them. Phosphor emulates an old green monochrome terminal screen with a very long afterglow (due to the phosphor). Phosphor can be used in many ways. You can configure it to get its output from a file, URL or from a program. It can even emulate a VT100 so you can use terminal control characters. You could recreate some visicalc screens and old stuff like that, whatever keeps you ticking."
