matrix_screensaver.exe and the like was popular for a bit.
It could have also been a proper .SCR (screensaver) file.
Because, fun fact: screensaver files on Windows are just renamed exes.
What- why?? There is some reason? I don't understans why it's a proper executable, it's such a security risk
I know, but remember that the .scr format was invented on Windows 3.1. It was a very different world then. No internet, no emails for the average user.
And they never changed hoe they work after that huh?
