Yeah. I didn't even expect that these ad boards would be treated as displays for screen savers to be shown on. I'd guess at a special serial connection or something.
Somehow, I always think that systems like this (in this case displaying lo-rez, low- depth images with transitions) would be run by some tiny box with little or no software — like scrolling message boards. Then I see a blue screen, screen saver... It seems like a waste and misuse of an already bad computer. Still funny.

Bah! Slow typing.

That's why I put "ads" in quotes
I forgot about Woz being there... Heh.
