Talk Nerdy to Me
We've been having some frank discussions with your computer monitor, and it's getting jealous. You get to dress up in a costume for Halloween and go trick-or-treating while it sits at home alone on your desk, displaying flying toasters. Lucky for you, we've got just the thing to help you make amends. We've rounded up the best Halloween screensavers, games, and desktop themes we could find--now it can dress up too. You're welcome.
