Moof!

Yea, and if It will be done, even in spite,
Then lend Thine hand to the masses,
Lest It be done incorrectly or woefully worse
By those not versed in the ways of the Dogcow.

Now that I'm booting into OS X more often than OS 9 I've begun to notice little differences in getting around the system as well as noting that the 12.1" screen that was fine in OS 9 is a wee bit small in OS X.

I miss Clarus the Dogcow though. Designed by the legendary Susan Kare, whose work is on nearly every computer in the world, the dogcow has a loyal following and there are quite a few who just cannot abide the loss of Clarus in OS X. One guy hacked his iBook and there is a ClarusX hack. Moof! t-shirts are still available and you can add Cairo to your typeface collection too. Clarus makes me wistful for the days of my old SE/30, 2400 baud modem, Fool's Errand and Microphone pro but I have my own DogCow to moooofff! for me. :)
