Recently someone posted a set of desk accessories, including a pair of
calculators, something called "Show Key Caps", and "Paint Grabber".  Of
the four, the first two crash the Mac instantly, and the third not only
does nothing visibly different from "key caps" except put an extra entry
in the menu bar, it messes up the menu bar and crashes the machine if you
happen to select that item from the bar.

PLEASE, people, try things out before you post them! Many people spent
lots of time on the phone downloading, binhexing, and installing these things
to try them out; maybe getting "paint grabber" (which I haven't crashed yet)
was worth it -- but why post something you weren't interested in enough to
try yourself?
