Back in the days of System 3.2 (or something), I once got a call from a client who was freaking out about her folder that "had gone all spotty". In those days, an open folder changed it's icon to a folder with a regular pattern of black pixels - the overall effect was a primitive greyed-out look. She wanted to know if the spotty folder meant she had a virus. Meow
