you don't see the marching-ants selection style in Apple apps anymore
I hope I don't bore you but I found it quite funny how Bill Atkinson
while developing MacPaint got the inspiritation for marching ants in

And even more interesting when Andy Hertzfold told in a tv-interview
how in 2004 Donald Knuth(!) "said he thought MacPaint was probably
the best program ever written. Was it possible for him to see the
source code?"
