"Generic PC" icon in Leopard -- a bit below the belt?

**muzikool** · November 2nd, 2007

Thought this was too funny and a bit cruel. In Leopard, there are icons that represent networked machines -- many of the specific Mac models have corresponding icons. This is the icon that represents a "Generic PC."

Very nice indeed though the Application Enhancer issue is mainly due to people not having updated to v2.0.3 of Application Enhancer (APE) which was released in March.

Admittedly some people apparently didn't know they had APE installed as the Logitech keyboard software installs it without telling the user. The only indication would be a new item in System Preferences and Logitech did not set APE to check for updates automatically.

Do people still use APE?

Apparently enough people do to warrant a heavily-documented fix for the install bug that is caused by APE. I myself have never used it.

It is quite nice, too bad it's not an LCD, though. I guess that's part of the humor -- that a PC would be using a beige CRT.

I love this part

After completing an upgrade installation of Leopard and restarting the computer, a "blue screen" may appear for an extended period of time.

Humm, for "an extended period of time", how long is that exactly? When will it fix it's self?

I love it, ROTFLMAO
