...about the happymac having disappeared since 10.2, and the hacks to put it (or another graphic back)It'd be funny to stick an icon of a disk with the X through it, just to give yourself an adrenaline rush every time you saw it and went 'whoa my disk is broken' then going like 'whoa!

there are hacks to put Happy Mac back?heh, that'd be a good idea to hack into someone else's machine to scare the hell out of them, because they'd not know you did it. I once put the blue screen of death screensaver on a bunch of windoze machines and scared the IT personnel spitless.

Yaromat's site that "emulates" a mac screen on PC's, now THAT scares IT people.BTW, has anyone here in the forums used the happy mac hack? It modifies bootx and well....that just makes me nervous. I was waiting for a bit more people to use it and let me read the feedback before I moved on. ~The Penguin | Captain, Intelligence Operations / Space Cowboy | There is only one path and that is the path that you take, but you can take more than one path. | 68k.torpedobird.com <-- Official Hotline Server | |

I like that Linux screensaver which has got big crash screens for various OSs (the Sad Mac is included, even if it's not pixel-perfect accurate...) My friend has it on his laptop, and occasionally he'll glance over and go "Oh, cr@p!" before remembering that it's the screensaver.  ~Coxy - Leader, Tactical Operations Unit Mayor of NuBus City v3.0

HAR! One cool thing to do with the Yaromat site is to give it to Anti-Mac Windows users, and tell them its a "cool Anti-Mac site". Then look at the looks on their faces.   -------------------------- "I keep my friends close, but I keep my enemies closer" - Unkown Warrior maclover5 68k Macintosh Liberation Army Number of 68ks Liberated: 6

Just change all the "Wallpeper" to a picture of a BSoD, hide the desktop icons and the Doc^H^H^H Start bar, hide the pointer in the corner of the screen and unplug the mouse!~Coxy - Leader, Tactical Operations Unit Mayor of NuBus City v3.0
