   A little bit intimidating. One or two being fed by me is okay, but any more than that and I feel like I’m in an Alfred Hitchcock movie.

   That was in version 7.5 only.

   If you type secret about box in Stickies, or any program that has drag and drop capabilities, and drag it to the desktop you will find yourself playing a hidden Breakout game with credits on the bricks to those that made System 7.5. However, in this game you have unlimited lives and the game starts over again once you beat it. Each time you play, the names will move.

   There are lots of hidden Easter Eggs in System 7’s evolution. The website MacKiDo has a listing for most of them. mackido dot com slash EasterEggs slash.

   Rainbow Lorikeets might also fall in this category. They’re beautiful birds, but the sound they make is both screeching loud and annoying.

   They’re cute birds as babies, but annoying sounds as adults. That’s my best description of them. Imagine having to hear “Ooh-ooh-ooh, ahh-ahh-ahh”, like those birds in a jungle, all day long.

   This is an old Easter Egg in the world of Macintosh computers. Back when versions 7 through 9 of the operating system were used, there was a control panel item named “Color Picker”. When opened, it presented you with a virtual crayon box and settings you can adjust to meet your needs. If you were to adjust the date in the system clock forwards over the years or decades, once you go back into Color Picker, you’ll notice how much progression of each crayon being worn down to a near stub of a piece.

   Love the songs, but not a fan of Colin Hay; especially after how he treated the band members. RIP Greg Ham.

   It’s definitely on fire; even 40 years after its release.

   I’ve been off-loading my collection in order to down-size a bit. I’ll still have the music, but in digital form at this point. But that will make room for any new additions later on. I’ve still got a copy of Pat Benatar’s “Get Nervous” album, original release and unopened, that my niece will for sure get. That one is not bad at all, I’ll admit.

   Someone’s been taking a page out of Steve Martin’s book.

   “Well, not a lot of people smoking out here, that’s for sure. It kind of bothers some people, if you’re in a sleazy place like this and somebody starts smoking. It doesn’t bother me so much, because I’m used to it. But if I’m in a restaurant eating and someone asks, “Hey, mind if I smoke?” I always say, "Well, no, do you mind if I fart? It’s one of my habits!

   Yeah, they’ve got a special section on airplanes for people like me now. I quit once for a year, but I gained a lot of weight. It’s hard to quit. After s*x, you have the urge to light one up."

    Looks like they’re recreating the front cover of Weird Al’s first album. No, seriously…go take a look and you’ll get it.
