Remebering toasters that fly

I was recently reading some excellent interviews Tommy Thomas, of Low End Mac, did with the AfterDark team which brought back some fond memories of the flying toasters. Those who remember the quirky early Macintosh screensaver developed by After Dark (later Berkely Software) often wonder where the creativity went in screen saver development, something Thomas touches on in his interviews.

For the time being those who wish to relive the golden days of the screen saver you'll either need to find an old copy of these screensavers many of which don't run on modern operating systems or check out some of the knock off versions such as this free one, which unforunatly doesn't look much like the original.

Thanks for the memories! I loved those flying toasters! I totally forgot about them until now.
I miss my ol' Mac SE sometimes :`(
