Hi Gary, No such thing as a "duh" question or answer when it comes to computers, imho. OS 9 traditionally did not ship with a native screen saver (as OS X does), but there were several 3rd party solutions, some of them quite elegant. Generally they acted as small applications that you would put in you Control Panels folder or Startup Items - it would "launch" at start up, but engage only on cue (when you told it to according to your preferences set-up). I seem to recall, towards the end of the OS 9 era, that many created theirs using Macromedia Director (a precursor to Flash). Maybe there are some sites still around doling out such OS 9 goodies.
