What's your favorite "About..." box? The best one I've heard tell of was from someone at Apple (hi dan!) describing an in-house version of multifinder, which drew a giant tree describing the management and development personnel hierarchy, with the OKAY button advancing the tree one more phase in the historical progression of the project (with branches breaking off for people who got sacked, one branch somehow going to a temporarily- visible France, etc.). A final error message ended the show: "Sorry, out of managers!" The naked boozing zebra woman in Macpaint 2.0 isn't bad, because warped, but doesn't really amount to more than a digitized painting or photo. MPW's flying toolbox is great. I'm especially interested in ones with good graphics, animation, sound, or humor. I remember seeing some shareware one where the word "ME" was scratched beside the standard [OKAY] button, which had been renamed [OKAY BY ME]. Mac humor at its finest! ------- Just a general discussion topic.
