Someone out there doesn't know what the dogcow is.  This message is for him
or her.

Ever choose "Page Setup..." with a LaserWriter selected and click on the
"Options" button?  The strange looking animal you see on the page is known
as the dogcow, because one can't tell if it's a dog or a cow.  Were it to
make a sound, the sound it would make would be "Moof."

(Note #1:  A friend of mine sampled someone saying "Foom," reversed it and
made it a beep sound.  Try it; it brings the whole thing a new perspective.)

(Note #2: According to Greg Decoteu [spelling may be off], an engineer w/ Apple
Printing Group [and he should know], the beast is actually *called* a Moof,
somewhat the way a young child refers to a cat as a "meow-meow.")

I hope this forestalls this line of questioning right quickly.
