Regarding a question about the blinking Apple on someone's new Mac 512e:

While this is usually a pretty technical forum, I think the original poster
may have been a bit surprised at the answer to his "simple" question.
I somehow expect that the original person was simply asking how THEIR Apple
menu started blinking.
The "blinking Apple" is used to indicate that your Alarm Clock has gone
off. You can set the time of the Alarm with the Alarm Clock Desk Accessory.
You may also use this to turn off the Alarm Clock (and hence the blinking
Apple)
