I just found an interesting error message deep within the OS X system folder (part of the Carbon.framework). Type this into Terminal...

cat /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/CarbonCore.framework/Versions/A/Headers/MacErrors.r | grep '1.5MB' | awk '{for (i = 4; i < 16; i++) {printf $i; printf " "} printf "\n"}'

...and see what it says!!!

I was just wondering if anyone had found any other hangovers from 9 or earlier?!!!

There are a whole bunch of graphics evidently left over from NeXTstep (as well as prerelease versions of Mac OS X) in /System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Resources.

lol - very funny. I was just poking around the system frameworks (as ya do!) and noticed the MacErrors file so I thought I'd see if anyone else had found anything similar.

The pubs in sunny Huddersfield aren't that bad actually - it's just that Monday night is not a good night to go out. (The cheap beer is on Tuesday and Friday!)
