Occassionaly, I get the spinning beach ball.
This morning I was treated with an Apple Easter Egg!
Instead of the spinning beach ball, which momentarily flashed, the cursor became a wonder of MacOS's from long ago and far away....the little tiny black & white wrist watch clock from the Cyberdog series!
It completely ended any reservations in buying an Intel iMac.
Those programmers at Apple certainly knew that those old icons were popular and still usefull.
A spectacular thing to see.

Not an easter egg as such. The little watch cursor occurs in many carbon applications when they are taking a long time to perform some operation, I believe.

Even in Cocoa apps. Well Camino anyway.

Oh, come on, the wristwatch was all over the OS, long before and after Cyberdog. I thought you found some actual reference to the dear departed OpenDoc browser.
BTW, if you had, it would've belonged in Applications, not iMac. As it stands, this thread belongs in Mac OS.

Thanks! I feel better now. Is that OS 8.something or 9?

The timer watch comes up in Office a lot. It's a Carbon app thing like mentioned above.

For a moment I thought you saw the Dogcow (Clarus). And then that Cyberdog just ressurected straight on your computer!  Only to realize it was just the little watch cursor.
