[comp.sys.mac] new system/finder

    Okay, I've just started using 5.4/3.3 find/sys when I notice this beaker
shaped icon in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Hmmm... Wonder what 
that is. Oh well. Then can't seem to be able to open any folders. Hmmm. Hit 
option key a few time and the icon changes. beaker->option->beaker with arrow
 ->option->full beaker with arrow->option->empty beaker. What the hell???

   Question: Does anyone know what this icon does? I've seen it in other apps
beside the Finder so it must be global to the system.
  
   While I was at apple interviewing for a summer job I got to talk with one of
the people working on the finder. He said that originally he had a fish swimming
in an aquarium rather then spinning watch hands. Question: Does anyone have a
copy of those icons they could upload to the net? 

   Incedentally, does anyone have a version of macapp.make which works with 
version b1 of macapp and version 2.0 of MPW?

   Thanz for the memories,

Albert Einstein, when asked to describe radio, replied: "You see, wire
telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat.  You pull his tail in New
York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles.  Do you understand this?
And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they
receive them there.  The only difference is that there is no cat."
