Label Secrets Pro

What it is

Label Secrets Pro is a completely original and exclusive program, and nobody has it but you (and your fellow SECRETS buyers).

Your cheerful authors dreamed up the idea for Label Secrets when writing Chapter 2, which deals with the utter pointlessness of the Label menu in System 7. We thought: if only it could be made to do something useful!

Now it does. Each time you turn on your Mac, the Label menu at your Finder desktop displays a different message containing one of the Macintosh Secrets from this book. It shows an actual Macintosh Secret every day for a year, right on your Mac screen!

 

























Label Secrets Pro adds two powerful features. First, you can now open the control panel and click forward or backward through the secrets (use the Prev and Next buttons). Now you don’t have to keep restarting the Mac to read the next secret — and it’s easy to review a secret you read the other day.

Second, there’s a Label Secrets Pro secret. If you’re clever, you’ll figure out the hidden method that lets you add your own secrets (or edit ours), right in the control panel!

Notes and credits

David Pogue dreamed up the idea and wrote the secrets; Apple programmer/boy genius Jeffrey Robbin (author of Casady & Greene’s Conflict Catcher) did the programming.

Label Secrets is available exclusively with this book. You may not distribute this program, post it on bulletin boards, or give it away.
