These are not from my machine. I do not have the GM. I just wasn't sure whether the person they were from would want their site URL posted.

JLL · Mar 18, 2001, 01:09 PM

I would rather like to see that GMscreenshot.jpg that is on the desktop.

Yes, I was just about to say the same.

SkullMacPN · Mar 18, 2001, 01:10 PM

And we know these are from GM... how?

Yes. It does appear to have the About This Mac box open... but we all know how easily that number is changed.

Although i suppose we will know for sure on the 24th, since some claim the final still has a build number in the about box, and others claim it does not.

Mar 18, 2001, 01:13 PM

What are you expecting? Since the About Box would just say 4K78 anyway, you'd immediately dismiss it as "not the GM".

crayz · Mar 18, 2001, 01:13 PM

actually we don't. according to some people it's GM, according to some it's 4K78. anyone know if you could have something that looks just like this in 4K78?

Mar 18, 2001, 01:14 PM

Well, we don't know that these are from the GM but it seems to support the claim by another member who said that dragging an icon too far off the dock leaves the puff of smoke on the screen.

Ah, but you don't know that for sure. No ammount of screenshots will prove anything until everyone get's their own copy of OS X and opens the about box for themselves. Untill then, I say post the about box screen. We will know who was lying about the About Box come the 21st/24th.

crayz · Mar 18, 2001, 01:17 PM

fishy fishy fishy
/me leaves screenshots there as is. judge for yourself - I'm taking back any sort of statement that I think this really is from the GM

That was a feature at the MWSF build...4K17 I think...

BEHOLD THE POWER OF CARRACHO!!!!
Found that shot on a server yesterday--

tdominey · Mar 18, 2001, 01:34 PM

Looks good to me.

But why would "About" read "GM" ?? I may be out of my element here, but wouldn't a retail copy say "10.0" or something like that? Who the hell (other than everyone here) knows what GM stands for?

A fake of course
because a GM would not say 'Build GM' !!!
The guy just edited the system version plist file & replaced 4KXX by Gm
Tired of this

Mr_Solar_Wind · Mar 18, 2001, 01:36 PM

Note that I am not making any claims about it's authenticity. In fact I can't see anything in the pic itself that would leave me to believe it's actually GM. I simply posted the pic as per request.

Mar 18, 2001, 01:37 PM

Sorry for quoting the screenshot
can a moderator correct this & then delete this msg please ?

David R · Mar 18, 2001, 01:38 PM

If the ABOUT box says GM, why would Apple change it back to K78 instead of just writing 10.0? I'm not saying anyone was lying, I'm just saying that it's odd Apple would do that.

wr11 · Mar 18, 2001, 01:38 PM

Well That was the dumbest screenshot I have ever seen

Apple would never put "GM" in there about box...LOL, if this was a joke...it was pretty funny! Hey, could someone post a shot of the "MacNN" build? I am sure there is one out there

------------------

SkullMacPN · Mar 18, 2001, 01:39 PM

Thanks for posting it.

Well. There you have it. We'll all know on the 21st/24th who was right and who was wrong (or if both sides were wrong).

Hell, I could make a build say "(Build Buck Futter)" just by editing the systemversion.plist file. Hell, I even have my copy of 4k73 edited to say GM, so it's not that hard.

I don't think leaving the build in is a bad thing. After all, how many people have seen the expanded version number of Win 95 (Windows 95 Version 4.123.2.34.234.3q6.w456345.673456.3456w). ;P

That's obviously not the GM. Here's a screenshot I obtained of the real thing:

Gametes · Mar 18, 2001, 08:43 PM

Then why, pray tell, is the terminal window exactly the same in your "real" shot as in the fake?

Mar 18, 2001, 08:49 PM

oooooooops

Mar 18, 2001, 08:57 PM

I was looking at the two first pictures. Anybody knows if the hard disk icon with a Windows XP logo is a fake thing too?

I did put the terminal window in a different position relative to the "About this Mac" window, though.
[edit] Oh yeah, the "About the Finder" window isn't there either.

No No No. THIS is the real GM!

That icon came from xicons.com. Go to http://xicons.macnn.com/disks.phtml
It is from the "Carlito Drives" icon set.
