Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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.

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).

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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

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

For a limited time only: [link]

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

Ooh - this is cool. HOW TO - Make A Cylon Jack-O-Lantern

(Old-school Cylon. With glowy eye thing, of course.)
