on HN thread Recreating the Flying Toasters screen saver for the Vision Pro

Something kicked in my memory when I started that video and for a second I couldn't temember properly if I was hearing the Flying Toasters song or Ever Onward IBM [0]. I remember having a DOS program with a PC Speaker karaoke version of that song, maybe on a disk that also included Alley Cat by IBM too. 0: [this video]
