On a similar note:

I am searching for nifty color PICT resources for my Mac II.  I have so
far located:

  1.  A color version of Cheryl Tiegs
  2.  A color BMX motorcyle logo (wierd colors).

Please send me e-mail if you know of other public domain color
pictures floating around out there (preferably digitized, but
beautiful 3-d renderings such as the floating mirrored balls from
Apple are o.k. too).  I will summarize if there is interest.

Also, does anyone know if there is a color camera program for the Mac
II?  This would help in capturing some PICTs from 3-D programs.

-------------- Removing ADB Devices ------------------------

According to a recent article (MiniMicroSystems?), each ADB device has
a dirt-cheap microprocessor (TMS-1000?), and one of the ADB pins is a
POWER pin.  This reduces the manufacturing cost of a mouse by $3.  So
when you disconnect your mouse/keyboard, you are actually
erasing/resetting a program stored in the microprocessor's ram (bad
news), which was loaded during boot-up.
