From the instant it broke onto the Macintosh scene in late 1992, DasBlinkenLights forever altered the landscape of personal computing. Bringing mainframe-like features to the desktop, DasBlinkenLights was so popular, it so taxed the available resources of the Internet at that time, that it was soon removed from all the Macintosh archives . . . but if you have courage to run it, you can get that original version from our site.
The saga of this extremely powerful piece of software did not end during that bitter cold winter of 1992. For six years in his secret lab hidden in Minnesota (aka, the Silicon Tundra) Doc O'Leary, the original developer of DasBlinkenLights, toiled through tiring, late-night-come-morning sessions of coding and debugging, slaving to improve the software and prepare it for the day when the world would finally be ready for its awesome capabilities. This is that day.
In 1998, Doc O'Leary began working for Subsume Technologies and we are proud to be able to make his updated software available on the Internet once again. Now running under Mac OS X, the incredible effectiveness of DasBlinkenLights is increased by an order of magnitude. We can only hope that the devastating force of this software does not throw the Internet into another six years of chaos.
Don't let the introduction confuse you. DasBlinkenLights is just a simple screen saver module, based on the old Mac application but sharing no common code. You loved the old version for some reason, so I guess you'll have to love this version too.
Like all System Preferences' Screen Saver Modules, DasBlinkenLights.saver goes in the "Library/Screen Savers" directory in either /, /Network/, or your home directory.
What's New:
Built as a Universal Binary, but untested on x86!
Other various changes.
