Flying toasters! Funny--my little brother worked for them, back when people would actually pay money for screensavers.
Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

Okay. Lavasoft ad-aware. That sounds good. I will say that I was more patient tonight and did not have the same problem.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I'm looking for a copy of the original Opus and Bill screensaver where they shot down the flying toasters (Before Broderbund sued them and won).

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Daniel, I have it somewhere. I'll look around for it tomorrow. If I can find it, I'll zip the files and upload it somewhere.

Well, rats. Turns out I don't have that one. I have the sequel to it. [link] And disk 3 is corrupt. And now my floppy drive wants to format any disk I put into it, even the ones that worked not five minutes ago. Bother.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I know that we had that one. I have no idea if I've still got the disks for it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Your machine is obviously infected by ghost toasters. That fly.
So, I installed the flying toasters on my MacBook. It's cool - there's just one disappointment. When I first saw the flying toasters, what really cracked me up was that it had a slider that controlled how toasted each piece of toast was. This version doesn't have that. Oh well.

Sonofagun, I've got the Opus & Bill disks, and they were still readable!

I should mention that I haven't tried to install it, so caveat emptor, etc.
