Strange, I didn't get that to happen on my mac+ but I did get it to
say that my ramdisk was a floppy disk.  Could a fooled me but I'm
still waiting for that floppy to come out..  It's in there somewhere!

I'm still trying to get over the balloon that explains what the Hide
Balloons is supposed to do :)  On a more serious note if apple was
gonna go that far they should have had an uninterrupted ballon that
would explain what the Show Balloons item was for...  That would have
given them the opportunity to present an examle of a ballon without
having balloons poping up all over the place.
BTW, is there a little routine out there that can control those rascals
I mean the balloons are nice I like the idea, but after a few unsuspected
balloons creep up you got to admit that it's time to say bye bye
balloons.  "I admit it, I can't get to the Hide Balloons fast enough!"

Is there any easy way to put balloons into programs?  Say with ResEdit?
That would be nice for some of those old programs that run on 7.0 but
don't have balloons...
