A good example of customizability of the mac is the "Blast" INIT.
When you hit command-shift-8, the mouse turns into cross hairs.  Then
you can click on a window, and blow a hole in the window data
structure.  This allows you to dig down through windows to get at the
desktop.  It's not the most useful tool, but it is an impressive
demonstration.  When you close & reopen the window, the hole goes away.
