Happy Holidays from MACBOY.COM!

X.x

Mac OS X started as Mac OS X 10.0, followed by a free update to Mac OS 10.1. Soon after, Apple released updates 10.1.1 and 10.1.2. A few more microrevisions and the version number will sound more like a discount long distance phone service! But when we reach version 10.4, it's over and out.

Invisibomb

Anyone who owns a Mac has experienced The Bomb. This imposing error message pops up on the screen to present you with only one choice: RESTART. But sometimes your Mac can be so screwed up that the bomb and text will not even appear, and only a blank box appears where the message would be. And if things are super screwy, the bordered box will be flashing .  When this happens, you'd best unplug your computer and run.

Pro create.

A shockingly phallic Quicksilver G4 with the tag line Pro create was all Apple needed for their ad campaign, displayed on huge building-sized posters and billboards during the NYC Macworld Expo 2001.  Whoever conceived this idea certainly had a fertile imagination.

Package

From the AppleCare Knowledge Base Article ID 60726:"Package First Aid is a utility that resets folders that have been incorrectly configured as application packages. If you have a package or folder that cannot be opened, drag it on this utility to reset it as a folder. Do not drag application packages on this utility."  Personally, my Package has never needed First Aid, but if it has happened to you, join in the discussion below! 

Thanks again for the idea, Chris Argiropoulos!
