78 The original After Dark flying toasters, with the fluffy white wings,
79 were a trademark of Berkeley Systems. Berkeley Systems ceased to exist
80 some time in 1998, having been gobbled up by Sierra Online, who were
81 subsequently gobbled up by Flipside and/or Vivendi (it's hard to tell
82 exactly what happened when.)
83
84 I doubt anyone even cares any more, but if they do, hopefully this
85 homage, with the space-age 3D jet-plane toasters, will be considered
86 different enough that whoever still owns the trademark to the fluffy-
87 winged 2D bitmapped toasters won't get all huffy at us.
