this is fun but also sort of startling to see https://www.williamcotton.com/articles/writing-web-applicati...

.. the exact same content for a screensaver with Todd Rundgren in 1987 on the then-new color Apple Macintosh II in Sausalito, California. A different screensaver called "Flow Fazer" was more popular and sold many copies. The rival at the time was "After Dark" .. whose founder had a PhD in physics from UC Berkeley but also turned out to be independently wealthy, and then one of the wealthiest men in the Bay Area after the dot-com boom.

Wouldn’t you know it, there’s a Flowfazer screensaver app for iOS! $0.99!

Thanks for reading my post. It’s nice to know I’m not writing to a complete void!
