Ah yes, the Zebra Lady. She was fired across the net in resource file
form for an hour or two before the clamps came down.

With the original release of the Mac MultiFinder (with system 5), if
you hit a certain key combination you wouldn't get the usual "About
MultiFinder" window, but instead a long scrolling list of credits
(mostly humorous). The original had all the character names in
full (Zippy the Pinhead etc), the version released had most of
them crossed out (Zxxxx the Pxxxxxx etc).
