Those 4 little round images ( top right ) get me...I can't quite work out what they are ?......



......Except sometimes I think they look like parts of a big V8 Chevy engine's manifolds......





Anyone know how they came about?

    I know WHAT 3 of them are, but not how they came about.



    Leftmost: processor activity blinken lights on Xserve



    next: corner of a TiBook (where the screen meets the keyboard)



    2nd from the right: original speed holes on the MDD PowerMac G4



    rightmost: ??? shiny, white, round, could be anything (mouse, iMac)

    [bullets hit the car]

    Homer: [suspicious] Hey, what are all these holes?

    Salesman: [quickly] These are speed holes. They make the car go

    faster.

    Homer: Oh, yeah. Speed holes!

    [bullets riddle the car and smash the windshield]

    Salesman: You want my advice? I think you should buy this car.



    later...



    Quote:

    Homer, meanwhile, uses a pickaxe to make some speed holes in his own

    car.



    Ned: Whatcha diddely-doin', neighbor?

    Homer: Aw, putting speed holes in my car. Makes it go faster.



    If you don't believe me, look at the name of the image file: toolbar_logo_holes.gif. They're speed holes, not buttons.



    It's also a reference to the "speed holes" in the MDD G4 towers. The speed holes make the G4 run faster!
