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. -mike "when i use the internet, i miss applelink, and vice versa" rose mr2t+@andrew.cmu.edu
