p.s. By the way, am I the only person on the net that noticed the mountains
in the "option"-about box in system 7? I hate to ruin suprises like that,
but I was touched...
Hmm... that dialog box was still and nice in the betas, but now on
golden, it just flashes up and disappears in a split second. What's up ?

I believe this is the original finder's about box. Yes yes, that's all very fine, but in the beta releases of the sys 7 finder, the dialog box stayed up - in the golden release, it flashes onto the screen and then disappears again in 1/10th of a second...

I simply do NOT get the error you're describing.. I tested it just now.. Works fine, and stays up until I click..

On a related note, try hitting the Option-key ten or twelve
times while displaying the Monitors cdev's about box. Don't
know how I stumble across these things...

Whenever I'm holding down the key, a little smiling Mac appears in the picture of the screen (this smiling Mac can be dragged around.) No matter how many times I hit the option key, nothing particularly unusual seems to happen otherwise. > --- * --- > Nick Jackiw Smoke@well.sf.ca.us | Jackiw@cs.swarthmore.edu > Key Curriculum Press, Inc.

No matter how many times I hit the option ... Click on the "7.0" in the upper right hand corner of the Monitors cdev window, THEN start whacking the option key. Very silly.

Re:
I first saw notice of this goodie a couple of weeks ago in either
this newsgroup or in c.s.m.system. It was mentioned as a 7.0 goodie,
but the other night, when I was playing on a friend's Mac running
6.0.7, I discovered that the Monitors control panel in that system
does this, too!
6.0.5 also.

I thought this one had been around for quite some time--the ability to put the startup screen and MacsBug on a different monitor than the menubar. Just hold down option, click on the happy Mac, and drag it to the monitor of choice. Or am I missing something, and there is MORE to this in System 7.0? -- | Paul E.

About the monitors cdev; if you have it at the edge of the screen
and hit the options button, the dialog for gamma correction is
placed partly off screen. Irritating !

Reread the second line of your quote from Nicholas' posting. We're talking about the Monitor cdev's About Box, not the main display. You get the About box by clicking on the version number. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keith Rollin --- Apple Computer, Inc.
