Flying Toasters Screensaver

Remember the days of the flying toaster screen saver? "Flying Toasters" was a must have item for any computer owner in the late 80's and early 90's.

A company called Berkeley Systems released a screen saver application called After Dark in 1989. The Flying Toasters were just one of the many different screen saver modules included with After Dark, but they were by far the most popular.



Unfortunately for us Toaster fans, the owners of Berkeley Systems, Wes Boyd and Joan Blades, sold their company to Sierra On-Line in 1997. (A year later, they founded MoveOn.org). Since then, the world has been toasterless... until now!

Thanks to the gang at UneasySilence.com, you can download a FREE version of the retrotastic Flying Toasters screen saver for Mac or PC here.

How To Install:

Windows: Drag the .scr file into your Windows directory, right click on it and select install. It should now appear in your screensaver list.

Drag the .saver file into ~/Library/Screen Savers/ (~ is your home directory)
