Chris Silverman 🌻Happy #Marchintosh to those who celebrate.
So, a mystery: I know someone who claims to have seen Mr Macintosh, even though he was supposedly never actually implemented.
This was maybe 2000 or so. My dad's lab assistant had been working on one of the Macs when he said that a small cartoon man abruptly appeared on the screen, waved at him, and then vanished.
It sounded exactly like how Jobs described Mr Macintosh. But the original Mac people never added him, and I've never heard any evidence that Mr Mac was hidden anywhere else, either.
Andrew Harvey@csilverman It wasn't the guy from Macintosh Basics was it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ScS4OYDfHE
Gosh this takes me back to 1994, on our family's LCII, potentially before I could read.

@andrewharvey heh yeah, I think I binged the entire thing in an hour or two hours or whatever it was. That's a face I'll never forget.
But no, it wouldn't have been Mac Basics Guy. The way the lab assistant described it, the appearance of this character was completely unexpected, and it disappeared very quickly; it wasn't obviously related to anything he was doing at the time.
