The thread on nostalgia made me remember something that I swear I experienced when Jaguar was the current OS, but I've never been able to make Jaguar do on any of my hardware since.
When I was messing with Netscape 6 with said friend on her lamp, I swear there was a different beach ball cursor. It still spun, but it almost looked like a palette with the colours inside. It may have been while configuring PPP in System Preferences, or testing a dial-in script?
Every so often when I remember this it drives me crazy because I can't find any proof this ever existed in any image search I've done. I even tried Puma thinking maybe I misremembered the OS version, but no luck there either. Reading about Jaguar's replacing the Happy Mac with the Apple logo, I distinctly remember that feature which I attributed at the time to something in the iMac's firmware instead of an OS change. So it almost had to be Jaguar.
