(0.03 seconds.).

The original After Dark flying toasters, with the fluffy
white wings, were a trademark of Berkeley Systems. Berke
ley Systems ceased to exist some time in 1998, having been
gobbled up by Sierra Online, who were subsequently gobbled
up by Flipside and/or Vivendi (it's hard to tell exactly
what happened when.)

I doubt anyone even cares any more, but if they do, hope
fully this homage, with the space-age 3D jet-plane toast
ers, will be considered different enough that whoever
still owns the trademark to the fluffy-winged 2D bitmapped
toasters won't get all huffy at us.
