Great to have a FREE version that works with Windows 10.
(I have home version with all updates as of 7/2019).
Installed and worked no problems.
great! pity that you haven't any personalization about dimensions, speed... but ok, it's freeware :)
I think they are a great piece of art and they are very much missed, I flourished with them growing up with Windows 3.0, 98 and XP.
I would also like to see an updated Free Agent Screen savers like Morface, On Patrol, etc...
Nice touch of nostalgia - works fine on Mojave. (OS 10.14)
Great Screensaver! Only Problem is that it Does Not Work on Mac OS 10.6.8.
Not optimized for 4k screen. The instants of the toasters disappear before they are out of the screen, and none of them reaches the bottom left of the screen.
Its Does Not Have Any Of The Customization The Original Had
3 stars
Works perfectly on Mac OS on both single and multiple display setups.
Sadly does not work on multiple monitors, and doesn't even make the second monitor black, wanted to like this, but that's unfortunate :-(
Very nice. It reminds on former times working with Windows XP. Now I have installed the screensaver to Windows 10 Pro x64 Version 1709. To install the screensaver copy the scr-file to C:\Windows\System32. To activate goto settings-personalization-lockscreen, scroll to last entry: settings screensaver.
Thank you! Really well executed/ported. I missed it! Works great!
Still have the original CD and run it on my XP machine. Shortly updating my machine and hope I can get it to run on Windows 10.
I like the falling bouncing balls (Marbles) the best.
Thank you for bringing this back!
Love it1
THIS IS SO GREAT! Thank you for porting this over! :))))
Great thing, finally!
Suggestions for a new version:
user can use a configuration menue to define
- background image and foreground image (that reflects on toasters)
- light brightness and adjust color (affects flying items only)
- light location (affects flying items only)
nostalgia, nice nostalgia
I can watch it forever, like I used to do. Toasters fly a bit too smoothly, though.
Pretty good. In fact I love it! Except - no sound. I miss the Flying Toasters anthem
Flying out of the sun
The smell of toast is in the air
When there's a job to be done
The Flying Toasters will be there!
MMmmMM... tasty.
OMG the nostalgia! Runs so smoothly too.
Reminds me good memories!
