I have all the After Dark screensavers and I can only watch them on my old IBM Windows 95 computer. I have wished someone would bring them out again. Berkeley Systems are long gone. Kids today do not know what they are missing. it doesn't have the charm of the original screensaver. This is by far my favorite flying toaster remake. how do you change settings to more than 5 toasters? Love it! very well done! I use a Windows 7 Desktop PC, and this installed perfectly on it and works great. brings back memories of years ago when I used to have the entire collection of Afterdark screensavers on my old Windows PC.. I'm so thrilled that there are people out there like the maker of this screensaver, who used their skills to bring this awesome nostalgia back for us! Wow, I absolutely love it. I used to have the Afterdark toaster screensavers on my old Windows . but after updating to Windows 7 , they weren't compatible. forget Windows 10! Well this works perfectly.. thanks so much for making this for us- I never thought i'd see my favorite screensaver again.. This is just awesome! After Dark: Flying Toasters. A recreation of the Flying Toasters screensaver that was part of the After Dark series of original screensavers for the Apple Mac operating system.

Works on Big Sur, you just have to launch it from the screensaver folder then allow it to be ran in the security settings. does not work on second monitor like i need. ummm maybe update this so it actually works with Big Sur. great preview tho. edit. second download worked fine. Works on windows 10, but doesn't really handle 4k displays that well. Nostalgia at its finest! I nearly wept when I got this to work on my laptop and external monitor; I can't believe how long it's been since I had the first version of After Dark! and how much I've missed it. The best dose of nostalgia I've had in a while! Note the security tips: https://www.screensaversplanet.com/help/guides/mac/file-cant-be-opened-because-it-is-from-an-unidentified-developer- 38. Doesn't work if you're using nVidia surround. For the first time in 20 years, I have flying toasters on my computer! It takes me back to high school and installing After Dark onto my 386SX-16 with a whopping TWO MEGABYTES of RAM (!) and watching those toasters stutter and jerk across the screen; today they glide effortlessly across the screen on my dual core i5 MacBook Pro. My, how times have changed. Yep. definitely loved it in the early 90s on my Quadra when working at an oil company in Lagos. Great stuff. The screen saver is very nice. I wished there would be all the other afterdeck modules incl. Disney and StarTreck available for MacOS X. My only problem in Mac Catalina is that every once in a while the system pops up and requests to move the screensaver to the Trash Bin since from an unidentified developer. Although I go to the privacy settings preferences to allow opening the screensaver, it happens over and over again. Its a bit disturbing. Any one has the same issues and maybe a solution to this problem? It's not codesigned. Therefore, I can't trust it on my system. Very disappointed. Works great for me on my MBP running 10.15.4 - across my 30" Cinema Display and 2 x 27" 1080i screens all at once! Shame there's no configurable settings - so a star off for that. But otherwise I'm awash with nostalgia! Reminds me of my childhood. You should allow for multiple monitor settings, though. Great screensaver. No settings, alas. But it's free and works on Catalina! I like the retro stuff. This a feel-good screensaver. Sadly doesn't work on XP for me :/ 2 stars. Major Love for Flying Toasters. Really Relax My Mind. Fantastic. I wish operating systems had more character like they did in the good old days. Nowadays everything is so sterile and there's no way at all to add personal touches to your environment. Sad. But this screensaver really helps bring back the memories of better OS days. Very, very well done. Great to have a FREE version that works with Windows 10. (I have home version with all updates as of 7/2019). Installed and worked no problems. great! pity that you haven't any personalization about dimensions, speed. but ok, it's freeware :) I think they are a great piece of art and they are very much missed, I flourished with them growing up with Windows 3.0, 98 and XP. I would also like to see an updated Free Agent Screen savers like Morface, On Patrol, etc. Nice touch of nostalgia - works fine on Mojave. (OS 10.14) Great Screensaver! Only Problem is that it Does Not Work on Mac OS 10.6.8. Not optimized for 4k screen. The instants of the toasters disappear before they are out of the screen, and none of them reaches the bottom left of the screen. Its Does Not Have Any Of The Customization The Original Had 3 stars. Works perfectly on Mac OS on both single and multiple display setups. Sadly does not work on multiple monitors, and doesn't even make the second monitor black, wanted to like this, but that's unfortunate :-( Very nice. It reminds on former times working with Windows XP. Now I have installed the screensaver to Windows 10 Pro x64 Version 1709. To install the screensaver copy the scr-file to C:\Windows\System32. To activate goto settings-personalization-lockscreen, scroll to last entry: settings screensaver. Thank you! Really well executed/ported. I missed it! Works great! Still have the original CD and run it on my XP machine. Shortly updating my machine and hope I can get it to run on Windows 10. I like the falling bouncing balls (Marbles) the best.

    Chapter 6 The System Software Museum IN THIS CHAPTER: I Every system version Apple ever released I The differences between System 7.1 and 7.0.1 I The differences between 7.5, 7.5.1, 7.5.2, 7.5.3, 7.5.5, 7.6, and so on I The SECRETS time line I Mac OS 8 — what’s left of it — explained I Guide to AppleSpeak In a little more than a decade, Apple has served up no fewer than 32 different versions of the Mac operating system. We will attempt in this chapter to guide you on a never-before-attempted journey: We will describe virtually all these permutations of the Mac’s system software, from the short-lived System 1.0 to the sprawling, sophisticated System 7.6. Beyond that we’ll show you exactly what to expect from Apple’s as-yet-unreleased system updates and the still- evolving Mac OS 8. THE SYSTEM SOFTWARE MUSEUM Why create a museum of the Mac’s system software? For one thing, exploring the nitty-gritty of system compatibility may prove valuable to Mac trou- bleshooters. It can be pretty handy to know, for example, that in a pinch you can run an LC II with System 6.0.8, but not 6.0.7. Or that a Quadra 630 can 215 216 Part I: System Software Revealed run System 7.1.2P,but not the nearly identical System 7.1.2. Furthermore, the rash of System 7 varieties has boggled even us. Quick, without looking: What’s the difference between versions 7.1.1, 7.1.2, 7.1.3, and 7.5? And what on Earth was System 7.5.3 Revision 2.1? On a more philosophical level, this retrospective provides a stunning overview of just how far the Mac has come since its introduction.

Most people don’t immediately think of the Finder as a program. After all, you don’t double-click an icon to launch it, as you would with, say, ClarisWorks. And there’s no Quit command in the Finder, as in other pro- grams. The Finder is just always there, waiting as your home base, whenever you exit your other programs.

  • Chapter 13: Utilities
    353 13 Utilities It’s always been a little difficult to define utility. A small program? One that doesn’t make its own documents? One that serves as a supplement to another, full-fledged application? None of these definitions actually works because a utility can be quite large and intricate, create documents, and work as a stand-alone program. But it’s safe to say that a utility is a program that you wouldn’t need unless you were also using your Mac for other things. You don’t need a spelling checker unless you do word processing; you don’t need a disk repair utility unless you’re using that disk to store applications and documents; and you wouldn’t need a utility that fancies up your desktop if you had no reason to be on the desktop! We can’t, of course, cover every Mac utility in this chapter—there are just too many. Utilities are mentioned in many chapters throughout this book; font utilities, for instance, are covered in Chapter 14. But we’ve tried to cover a good sampling of general-interest utilities in this chapter. 354 Chapter 13: Utilities Contributors Contents Sharon Zardetto Power Tools ...................................................................355 Aker (SZA) is the chapter editor.

Proposed task: design a screensaver for the 21st century, updated to contemporary interface culture.

Predated by screensaver-like behavior on atari systems (1977, 1979). ScreenSaverS - a hiStory » screensavers quickly became an area of graphic experimentation, typically using parametric graphic algorithms to create ever-generating images. » Popular in the 1990’s as a way to customize one’s computer and express personality (much like ringtones etc.) Many screensavers were humorous or intended as eye candy, giving them status as pop culture artifacts. » Possible high point: the after dark screensaver collection by Berkeley systems, 1989. ScreenSaverS - typologieS » traditional screensaver types include: - simple blank screens - generative animations (i.e. lissajous curves, bouncing polygons, the Mac Os “flurry” etc.) - animated jokes, software parodies - Photographic slideshows » also popular: screensaver as corporate branding and advertising channel (typically to promote films, cars and consumer lifestyle products) after dark, flying toasters (1989) after dark, starry night (1989) flurry, Mac Os X (calum robinson, 2003) StatuS quo - Stagnation » in the last 10 years the screensaver format has largely stagnated, due in part to the disappearance of CRT screens.
