Whatever happened to Mr. Macintosh? He was a picture that originally would pop up on the Mac screen every so often until, possibly before the Mac's introduction, the "every so often" was set to infinity. I know he was still in the ROM's somewhere because I saw him once. I was watching my Mac go through the throes of a particularly nasty crash, the kind where the screen looks like modern art and the speaker emits a sound like a cat in a blender, when the screen went black. Then there appeared four ICON-sized images of a round face, with three hairs sticking up from the top of his head. Seconds later, they disappeared. So is he still in the 128k ROMs? If he is only in the 64k ROMs, does anybody know where (so I can go get him)? Has anybody else seen him? I suspect the numbers are few, but this is a likely place to find others who have. Thanks in advance for any info. Lyle D. Gunderson zebolskyd@yvax.byu.EDU

On a similar note, does anyone know if the "Stolen From Apple Computer" icon is in any of the post-Mac Plus ROM sets? More important, are these icons 32-bit clean? :-) -- ========== ....... ============================================= Ken McLeod :. .: UUCP: ...{spsd,zardoz,felix}!dhw68k!thecloud ========== :::.. ..::: INTERNET: thecloud@dhw68k.cts.com //// =============================================
