    Actually, it's Clarus.

    And I guess MacSnobs wouldn't know Clarus from Claris.

    Given the link you provide for Clarus, perhaps pretender is indeed the word of the day.

    That Apple, they think of everything. Now I'm going to go back to waiting for my Dalmation iPod nano tube.

    From The Jargon Dictionary (http://info.astrian.net/):

    dogcow /dog'kow/ n. See Moof. The dogcow is a semi-legendary creature that lurks in the depths of the Macintosh Technical Notes Hypercard stack V3.1. The full story of the dogcow is told in technical note #31 (the particular dogcow illustrated is properly named `Clarus'). Option-shift-click will cause it to emit a characteristic `Moof!' or `!fooM' sound. Getting to tech note 31 is the hard part; to discover how to do that, one must needs examine the stack script with a hackerly eye. Clue: rot13 is involved. A dogcow also appears if you choose `Page Setup...' with a LaserWriter selected and click on the `Options' button. It also lurks in other Mac printer drivers, notably those for the now-discontinued Style Writers. Sadly, Apple has removed the pages that used to describe the dogcow.

    As mentoined above, Apple used to have a devolper's page dedicated to The Dogcow, but it's down now. You'll have to get your info from a Dogcow fansite.

    My computer of choice gives me an orchestral chord when it starts up, and Moofs if I want it to.

    I am running a Gateway surplus motherboard in a ATX case, and it just does the typical feep that all x86 computers since the IBM5150. However, I haven't played around with very recent Gateway PCs. I haven't been to a Gateway Country store since the one in Northridge, CA closed down.
