When I was a little girl, my dad-s media office had this screensaver on his work computer. If we ever went to pick him up early, I would just sit down on his office chair and stare at the flying toasters or Rainstorm until he was finished talking with clients. I used to wonder why we didn-t have such nice screen savers back home. Turns out it was because we had an old Tandy.

I remember having a few awesome screensavers that I just can't find anywhere. Cows dropping from the sky and breaking into pieces at the bottom of the screen, very gory. Buildings with neighbors on the windows doing different stuff. And a dude using a lawn mower cart to mow all the grass on the screen and run over a cat that is in the way.

Pro-tip: Don't do what I did and delete the AFTER DARK folder to free up harddrive space. That bugger sneakily puts itself in your autoexec. bat and gives your Dad a headache to get the PC working again) - The voice of experience. Looking back now it's an easy fix, but as a 14 I was absolutely heartbroken. We had the Simpsons version.

I remember in 5th grade, one of my teachers set another teacher's computer to have the can of worms screen saver automatically turn on at a certain time. He made sure he was there then and that the other teacher saw the screen saver start on its own and he convinced her that her computer had a virus that was eating all the files.

When I was a kid, we had a 386, and After Dark was super fun to play with. Also on the subject of screen savers, there was some Looney Tunes version (maybe required After Dark, not sure, I was like 4) that included Taz the tazmanian devil buzzing around your desktop and eating your icons. That was great!

After Dark was my first experience with computers, as a 7-year-old. My dad took me to work, but needed to do some business, so he plopped me in front of a Windows 3. 1 computer and said, -Here's After Dark. Look at all the cool lines and shapes! - then left for a while, trusting me to amuse myself.

Our second task in programming class was tweaking a screen saver our professor made, then eventually we had to turn said screensaver into a side scrolling game. This was all done in C++. It's cool seeing all these first iterations of this software, and that some were made in C.

I miss screen savers so much. When I was a kid they were one of my favorite things about using the computer and was always the very first thing I did when I got my hands on a new one: looking at all the different screen savers they had and adjusting all the preferences.

I was so sad the day After Dark stopped working, and I couldn't get my Mac Classic to read the disc anymore. It never worked on my Quadra 630 or later. >__> I forget the exact reason why, but yeah, it was very sad.
My favorite module was the mowing guy.

Growing up, I saw a few diferent versions of After Dark. My favorite was the one with two specific modules - one with a stunt guy on a motorcycle hopping school buses and pirahna tanks, and one that was an interactive quiz show called You Bet Your Head.
