That is a System 6.0 toy which cannot be found nor used in earlier systems (which he says he is using). There will be no check mark in the DA menu or diamond. (In fact, I just tried it under 6.0 and there isn't one under NM anyway). The pre 6.0 versions simply invert the apple and beep on startup. That's all. -Andy Andy J.
