The Return of the Flying Toaster
Remember that old Mac screensaver? This tribute runs in a browser so it works on any computer.
About 25 years ago a coworker showed me this on our Mac. It cracked me up that you can control how toasted the toast is.

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

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Aw, good old After Dark! That takes me back.
ETA I am finding having that in an open tab I can click to whenever I need a little mental break is very soothing. I wonder if anyone's done a similar thing with Satori, I remember really liking that one.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I remember there was a Bloom County parody version that had Opus shooting down flying toasters. After Dark issued a cease and desist and they had to change it.
I actually have a few boxed copies of the later Bloom County version in my basement

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I still have a copy of the Opus version around here, too.

Setting up my Mom's new computer. 2 USB 3 ports, 4 USB 2 ports. Have camera, mouse, keyboard, printer. Should I save the USB 3 ports for something along the line of external hard drives, or are there any of these devices that will perform noticeably better with USB 3?

The mouse, keyboard, and printer won't suffer from being on USB 2. If the camera was designed for USB 3, it will transfer more slowly on USB 2, but if not it won't make a difference.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Totally dumb and incredibly frustrated right now. Can anybody tell me how to turn the cursor back on on a Toshiba satellite laptop? The wee indicator light on the touchpad is lit.
I've tapped, double-tapped, combo tapped with--I think--every key on the keyboard, still no luck. I can't get into any of the menus to find destructions because I have no cursor!
I inadvertently hit a key, or a combination of keys, entirely by accident and landed the laptop and me in this pickle--any help? Anybody?

Our wings are not tired.
Try hitting the F5?

You might need to hold down your Fn button and then the F5.
