No More Happy Mac

[ravuya]

Jaguar has replaced the familiar Happy Mac with a generic Apple logo during bootup.

This makes me incredibly disappointed.

and there was me thinking it was a one time thing or an error or something

It is really snappy compared to previous versions. The interface is much snappier and it seems to boot up faster.

That's too bad. They've been the same since 1984 when Susan Kare designed the original icons for Mac OS 1.0

Oh well. Nothing lasts forever.

Striking. I like it.    It'd be cool if the Apple started out empty and filled with Aqua as the system loaded, though.

No more happy mac? I thought they'd replace it in 10.0. I wish they'd keep it; it's one of the few things that have remained unchanged since '84.

Im sure there will be a hack sometime comin. Keep an eye on ResExcellence.

I personally like the new boot up screen WAY more than the happy mac. A lot more. Much more professional, in my opinion.

I should get Jaguar
