There are three Father's Day screen savers. For two of them, you might think they're cute butterflies,
but they are not! Choose either the Bouncing Bow Ties screen saver (426 kb) and be
mesmerized by the TUT Effect (Truly Ugly Ties Effect). Or, choose the Bow Tie Splat
screen saver (458 kb) and be truly appalled by the TUT Effect!
If you are not into bow ties, try out BlackDog's Truly Terrible Ties screen saver. (That's the TTT effect if
you're keeping track.) It's 350 kb, and it's also free.
No matter which of BlackDog's original screen savers you pick, they're fun to watch. Hey -- try them all!

How to Download, Install and Uninstall the Screen Saver:
To download the screen savers, click one of the tie pictures above to
download now. You will be downloading a file named dad-tie-bounce.exe, dad-tie-splat.exe or dad-trulyterribleties.exe
in case you forget the names. (Don't forget where you download the files.)
To install the screen saver, double click the file name after it has completely downloaded
to your computer. The screen saver will automatically install onto your system.
To uninstall the screen saver, click the "My Computer" icon on your desktop,
then "Control Panel," then "Add/Remove Programs." Find the name of the
screen saver, highlight it and click "Remove." Or, follow your own computer's
operating system instructions for how to uninstall a program.
Trouble downloading? Make sure you aren't in frames from somebody else's site or behind a firewall. The screen savers are set up so that they must be downloaded from BlackDog's site only.
Worried about viruses? The files you download from BlackDog have been tested to make sure they do not have a virus. If you have a screen saver that you believe contains a virus of some kind, you did not download the file from this site.
Important! These screen savers are free to use on your personal computer only. You may not email them to your friends or distribute them from your own web site, or anywhere else, by any method or means. If you do that, people won't come to BlackDog's site to get their own screen saver, the banner ads that pay for everything won't be displayed, and BlackDog won't be able to keep giving away things for free. If you want to share the screen savers with other people, please use the "Email Me" link below to send the url of this web page to your friends. Your friends can download the screen savers from BlackDog just as easily as you can. Thanks for being considerate.
Do not post these screen savers on any other website, newsgroup, or FTP for people to download. If you do, people won't come to visit BlackDog themselves, the banner ads that pay for everything won't be displayed, and BlackDog won't be able to afford to give things away anymore.
Please don't download the screen saver and then email the file to all your friends, either -- for the same reason. Just give your friends the url of this web page and they can download it themselves just as easily as you can email it to them.
Please do not link directly to the screen saver downloads on BlackDog from your web site. Again, just put the link to this web page, please. In addition to cutting off our only income, when you do that it ties up our server, slows everything down, costs lots of money in bandwidth fees, and makes BlackDog very, very unhappy. (BlackDog changes the names of things frequently to make sure people don't do it, too.)
Kids - Always get permission from your folks before downloading anything from the internet!
