Wanna know how to bomb TOS 1.4 (and maybe others)? Put two windows on the screen, and click the close box on the top one three times EXTREMELY quickly. I can just get in three clicks before AES (or whoever) says it's not there anymore. Bam. Top window closes, lower gets the raise signal. Bam. It closes. Boomity boom boom, can't close any more windows, can we? Seriously, has anybody else been able to do this? I'm using the (much-maligned) Naksha mouse, with the double click speed and key rates cranked way up, and I can usually only do it when I've got a few liters of caffiend in me :-). Standard desktop, 2.5 megs, and a rev. c 520. Is it me, or is it memorex? If anybody out there has dug into the ROMs, like say one of the programmers of TOS (hi a.p.), what happens internally when there's another close window event on a valid close box, *but when the time comes to close it, IT AIN'T THERE? Flames off, please. Come visit me and I'll demo it for you (and I'll spend the next six hours unborrowing sody pop :-). Bob The Schulze

I only have two questions: (1) why would you WANT to bomb your machine? (2) Why would you click three times in the first place? Everything I know works with one or two clicks. This strikes me as entertainment for those who couldn't afford Dungeon Master or something...
