5. Aren't there any Macintosh users here?
In the classic Macintosh interface, there's a creature with a dairy-cow patterned pelt on the print setup page. It's supposed to represent the image on the printed page, and how the various options will affect the image. It doesn't look like a dog OR a cow, exactly.

The creature, in legend, is called "Clarus the DogCow," and the sound it makes is "Moof!"

I WORKED at Apple in the 80's. And then at Claris.

Moof is no cowdog.

7. Contrary to those with no attention to detail ...
moof is the sound of the beloved legendary dogcow

late at night

east of midnight

in the hills around Cupertino you can sometimes hear a distant

moof


============

Moof on the other hand is somthing you have apparently
made up in an attempt to be silly

You have succeeded successfully fully.

You do see the difference don't you ?

Or is it only irregardless that gets your fully attention?
