MacBarfX 1.1

What is MacBarfX?
MacBarfX is a port of a very, very old System 7 extension for the Macintosh, called MacBarf (sometimes called MacPuke). It was one of my favorite useless apps for the Classic Mac OS. When running, your Macintosh will emit a barfing sound any time a disk is ejected. This isn't a Haxie. The APIs for notification of an ejected disk are published by Apple. This app will do no harm to your system.

How do I use MacBarfX?
Simply double click the MacBarfX icon. It's a faceless background app, so it will look as if nothing has happened. Now mount and then eject a disk. If you wish to quit MacBarfX, simply open up a Terminal window and type:

killall QUIT "MacBarf"

Version 1.1 is Universal Binary.

NOTE:
MacBarf was originally created by Bob Schumaker in 1997. This version uses a different barfing sound than the original.

NEWS FLASH!
It looks like there are two separate versions of MacBarf/MacPuke. I recently found an old copy of the original "MacPuke", and the readme document with this file says ©1987 by Daniel Green. So I assume that Mr. Green was the original creator of MacPuke, and Bob Schumaker rewrote it in 1997 and renamed it MacBarf. But I'm not sure. Either way, the copy of MacPuke I found *is* the first, original version, as it is far older than the copy of MacBarf I have. The sound used in each application are slightly different, also. It's the same recording, but MacBarf seems to be a bit higher in quality, as if it was cleaned up. If anyone knows Daniel Green, try to get me his email. I'd like to find out a little more about this story.
