What is dogCow?
DOGCOW is a sufficiently innocent, apparent creature that is known to most fans of Macintosh and Apple & Reg: Computer Systems. In 1983, Susan Kare invented various Dingbat symbols for Cairo's font and used a small white dog with black spots, similar to a cow, a letter Z. Symbols that are for laser printers were kindly kind like Clarus for some Mac users designed as an icon for printing on several Mac (OS) operating systems. The name Dogcow did not come until 1987, when Scott Zimmerman created it. Until OS 9, when you clicked on printing options, you can see a small dogCow oriented in different directions. Mouse clicks would cause the animal to say "moof!" Nice mixture of dog sounds and cows. For many people, Dogcow was another funny and pleasant aspects of Mac computers. Yet when introduced by OS 10DogCow was omitted and many people to beg them to return.
You will find several patches and "haxies" that allows you to bring the animal back to the Mac if you run OS 10. Some Mac users would not feel the same without Clarus in their printer options, and refer to a new image that shows different print orientation as a "boring guy". If you are satisfied with the life without dogCow in your operating system, you should know that the animal is gone but not forgotten.
Clarus is still a mascot for the Apple Developer Tech Support Group and Microsoft® has tried to jump on board using a slightly different DOGCOW drawing in PowerPoint®. The sound that the animal makes, the recognizable and stupid "moof!" And the original drawing is Apple trademarks, so you cannot use them without permission, even if the number of pages will devote that ED both disrupt the copyright.
Unfortunately, Clarus is destined for loneliness, even if Mac users are well loved. According to Internet myth and legends, dogcows, and there are really just ClarraS, they are always women, because dogbull sounds too much like Bulldog and causes confusion. Other phrases that appeared around Clarus's arrival include the idea of having a "moof! In mind", which means being creative, thinking outside the box and basically living an "apple" way of life based on simplicity.
