Clarus has been there from my very first experience of Macs, when I would print off MacPaint or KidPix scrawls at primary school.

Check out the Moof! widget for OS X.

Moof is crying out to read my Growl announcements.

Is it a cow - is it a dog ?


Here my little page about Clarus the Dogcow.

A Footnote on the History of the Dogcow:

April Fool's at Apple - As told by Matthew Lewis Carroll Smith

Meanwhile, Matthew and his friends at Light Software decided to play a little April Fool's joke at Apple's R&D campus. In the dark of night they diligently constructed an amazingly realistic pile of offal which they placed appropriately behind the DowCow sculpture. They dubbed it "Power Feces" and came back the next morning to see people's reactions.

Apple wasn't happy with it at all. Actually Apple didn't give a flying flip one way or the other. Come on, this is the west coast! Who would notice?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogcow

The Dogcow is a bitmapped image first introduced by Apple Computer. It is the shape of a dog with nose and spots that look like a cow, originally created in 1983 as part of the Cairo font by Susan Kare as the glyph for 'z'.

I still have my original Moof! t-shirt but I've worn it so many times so it is in pretty rough shape.

Thanks for the invite. Took me a few days to actually see it and realize what it was. Duh!
I think I remember seeing the Dogcow when printing, using my first toaster Mac which I think might have been a Plus.
Has anyone seen the Dogcow when transferring files between the Newton and a PowerPC? I am positive that I saw the Claris doing flips while the files were being transfered. Anyone else ever see this? Or, maybe I was seeing things? Little green men are next?
