- Not!
-
- A highly sophisticated hack — Not!
-
- by Darin Adler and Nevin Liber
- extensive help from Greg Marriott, Jim Reekes, Philip Nguyen and Jeff Miller — Not!
- idea suggested by Waldemar Horwat

- The idea is to notice modal dialogs that contain some negative message.
- If they also contain a button with the word OK, it is changed to Not,
- and a sound is played when the button is hit ("Not!"). Also, the negatives
- are all changed to positives.
