The origin story of the Windows 3D Pipes screen saver

By a stroke of luck, one of the people to see these new screen savers was a member of the marketing team who tried them out the night before an already-scheduled visit in New York City with a major computer industry magazine. He loved them and wrote back, “You can call off the vote. We’re adding all of them to the product!”

Just think, if not for this email we might not have had that episode of LGR where "PENISES" suddenly appeared on the screen behind Clint as he was talking about it.
