Hidden System Text:   Blue Meanies "Capone"-System 7.5 When opening the system with a text program, I used the Program ???->TEXT, you will find a few interesting messages. The program ???->TEXT is shareware but there are also many other text programs that will open general documents, such as the system, that contain text (for example: MacSnoop, MacTools, MS Word, or changing a document in ResEdit to TEXT). When opening system 7.5 you will receive the below message: Help! Help! He's STILL being held prisoner in a system software factory!

[more unreadable text] When opening system 7.1 you will receive a similar message but instead there are various “Blue Meanies”. Check it out, it’s pretty fun.   System 7.5 Update "Danook" In system 7.5 update (should be in system folder if you updated to 7.5.1) there are the same names as above with these additions: Also serving time: Sam Barone Ian Hendry Paul Wolf Mercenary: John Yen   Macintosh Easy Open Once again using ???->TEXT and opening Macintosh Easy Open I have found a humorous, abnormal, and hidden message between the encrypted text: “Joy! Leave Our Mark On The Tree Weve Been To This Tree Before Preflight Paul” (A few other Apple programs start with “Joy!” also like QTVRPlayer and some Apple Guide Documents, weird huh?)
