    "In Greek, 'nostalgia' means 'pain from an old wound.'"

    March 8, 2012  |   By desktopia

    Version: Flying Toasters Screen Saver 3.1.0

    Pros

    Love the nostalgic quality. The options are nice. It's close enough to what I was hoping for, and I'll probably keep it as my default screensaver for a while.

    Cons

    First off, the most glaring thing is that the toasters come from the left. In AfterDark, the toasters came from the right. With so many options, you'd think this would be one of them.

    I agree with the previous reviewers that the quality is low. I'm not exactly sure why the toasters are lower quality than they were in AfterDark 10 years ago.

    Also, the density settings aren't very accurate. The bread and toasters don't seem to cross your screen at an even rate.

    Summary

    I wouldn't necessarily recommend anyone use this if they were looking for a Flying Toasters replacement a la AfterDark, but I do recommend that you try it out and see if it works for you.

    "I don't like it at all!"

    Version: Flying Toasters Screen Saver 3.1.0

    Pros

    Can't think of anything.

    Cons

    The options simply don't work on my core 2 duo iMac. I set number of toasters to one and there are hundreds. The quality isn't up to standard. I set it to slow and it's fast???

    Summary

    it just doesn't work on my machine as advertised.

    "Should I have my toast lightly brown or Burnt? LOVE IT!"

    Version: Flying Toasters Screen Saver 3.1.0

    Pros

    Love being able to create my very own screen saver based on how many toasters and pieces of toast I want on my screen along with the speed.

    Cons

    Can't really think of any. (maybe allow for different kinds of toasters in a magnitude of colors

    Summary

    If you want a fun and fabulous screen saver, this would be the perfect thing.

    "Love the retro feel of this screen saver"

    June 19, 2010  |   By rgunther

    Version: Flying Toasters Screen Saver 3.1.0

    Pros

    I've been looking for something reminiscent of After Dark's classic Flying Toaster's screen saver for a while now. This brings back the memories while bringing it up to date.

    Cons

    Cons? What cons?
