   Think my favorite was the one that got installed one weekend that played marco polo using apple talk and the built in mic and speakers... One computer would yell marco and the others would reply polo - then pass the token over apple talk to the next marco on the network... Gotta love Mac Hack

   There was this great extension that helped password protect your computer. It did have one "minor" problem. You could disable it by simply holding down the shift (?) key and disabling extensions. Doh. Every time that I walked around the dorm and saw that program it just made me laugh.

   This extension called "Gravité." With the touch of a hotkey, it made icons behave as though gravity was acting upon, and you could fling them across the screen. Man, that was a riot.

    There was an extension around system 7 that allowed you to shoot your screen. Hit some key combo and the cursor turned into a gun site. Click the mouse button and boom, bullet holes and blood. I can't remember the name of it right now, but it was a nice relaxer.
