I have fond memories walking through the engineering/office staff area of the production facility my dad worked at on weekends. Every single one of the computers in that massive 90’s cube farm had the pipes screensaver going, but the lights would all be off, and it was just so quiet and peaceful compared to the controlled chaos of the production floor.
I feel like I remember his picture becoming a meme in the 2010s, so probably not? Its not a 90s or 00s photo at least. Also tangentially, he is definitely not 10 years old there

I want my flying toasters back.
Microsoft… laying pipe 😎
Satori on Mac System 8.
I’ll still partake of the Galaxy screensaver on X11 from time to time.
Better than any fireplace
You can still get this. I have it on my desktop with dual monitors and each monitor has a separate configuration or pipes.
This kid is probably 30 now
It’s me, I’m that kid

I meant the kid pictured, not the fictional one in the meme

I was so fucking proud of myself for downloading the Matrix code screen saver.
I feel seen.
I wonder if this is what led to the ‘internet is a series of tubes’.
