Every so often it would use the Utah Teapot for one of the piping joints. At work we used to sit and wait to try and see it.

That article is super interesting. Thanks for linking it.

I remember as a kid I would sit and watch that pipes screensaver too! I never saw the teapot though, and so I was a bit disappointed and confused when I saw your comment. Turns out I wasn’t inattentive! The teapot only showed up in versions prior to windows xp apparently, and I am of the age that xp was one of the first OSes I used.

I currently have it installed. I hope it still does that.
