It's a WABBIT! (with sunglasses). This is the NetBunny! I encountered him in the root level window of a hard disk (which I believe had zero K available) when I attempted (and failed) to turn on File Sharing. He was associated with a visible, zero length file called "AppleShare PDS". When I made room available on this disk, I could successfully start File Sharing -- no more NetBunny. :-( > Anyone else noticed this? I didn't see it mentioned before! Do I win a price [sic]?

The code name for FileShare during development was Killer Rabbit. During the alpha stages of System 7, FileShare servers came up with the Killer Rabbit In A Monitor icon instead of the normal AppleShare server icon. -- Dean Yu Blue Meanie, Negative Ethnic Role Model, NetBunny Engineer, etc. Apple Computer, Inc.
