Yeah, If you could please help me with my hacking I would appretiate it.
I'm trying to change my screen saver from flying windows to flying toasters.
Any ideas on how to do it? (hehehe)

Now *that* sounds like a worthwhile project. All I know is that the screen
saver in question is in the file Flying Windows.scr in your windows\system
directory. It's just a regular exe, renamed to be an scr file. Unfortunately
it doesn't seem to have any bitmap resources which you can modify; it must be
getting the windows from somewhere else. The best idea I have is to
disassemble it and find out what makes it tick, but that's probably a month's
work, even if you know assembler.

the Flying Toasters are owned (and no doubt zealously protected) by the
makers of the "After Dark" screen saver program. avoid the karaoke version
of the toaster screen saver.. aieeee!!

whats up with these flying toasters? What planet are they from? What do they
use for fuel? What is their rate of yaw? Do they have overseas flights or
just domestic? Get back to me on this cause I need to go see grandmother in
Iraq.

video toasters are the next step in the evolution of the amiga computer.
the species couldn't survive in the computer ecosystem, so it adapted to the
video effects ecosystem. computers have since adapted to superiority even
in this separate ecosystem, so it appears thast video toasters have to placed
on the endangered species list...

The "flying toasters" screen saver is actually a product of a company other
than Microsoft.

I'm fond of AfterDark(tm)'s bungee-jumping cows. As a cow bungees from
the top of the screen, she goes "MooooooOOOOOOOOooooo!!', before the
bungee cord rebounds. Occasionally, a cow's cord will break, and she
crashes into a heap of hamburgers and hot dogs at the bottom of the
screen.

I like their "Satori" screen saver, though I don't bother much with
screen savers these days. I think that EnergyStar and APM have dealt
a serious blow to the screen-saver camp.

Not unless you pay to become a Grex member. Grex is pretty generous
about providing e-mail, conferencing, chat (party), etc, but partly
because of resource limitations and partly for other reasons most
out-bound network services are restricted to members.

Where are the bungee-jumping cows? We've bought two recent
After Dark screen saver packages and I don't recall those...

re 60: I was referring to an older version, Ken. Perhaps
the bungee cows have been discontinued in the current
versions. But I hope not.

Leslie and I just searched through our Win95 versions of
"After Dark Classics" and "After Dark 4.0." No bungee cows.
We are bummed.

Re #61: The author of this item has not logged on since the
day he posted it. He may have decided that Grex is not fruitful
territory for discussions of the kind he's interested in.

Didn't the flying toasters come from a Jefferson Airplane Album? Wasn't
Berkely Software sued over it? Isn't that the reason that the toasters
found themselves not well suited for even the video effects ecosystem,
and so they are now to be found only in the grex drift items ecosystem?
