Perhaps someone in Netland will implement a version of the old control
panel for the Mac+, as Real Hackers will certainly want to be able to
set the number of flashes on menu selects as well as mouse acceleration.
(0.5 :-))  Any takers? (Of course, Real Hackers have already figured out
an Obscure Way to accomplish these things.)

Seriously, though, I'd almost rather see the Alarm Clock disappear than
to remove items from the control panel.  How'd you like it if they took
the bass and treble controls off your stereo?
