Snippet: Target Disk Mode on Intels

thats a Firewire icon isnt it?

You are correct.

indeed it is a firewire icon. that battery icon looks like a konfabulator widget that i used to use. wait.. maybe it was a dashboard widget?

Well, it would be handy to know your battery status if you were in T mode and not connected to power. Assuming it refers to a MBP of course; if that’s on an iMac it’s just silly.

i’ve never seen him before in my life

I think it was Konfabulator…
Something like http://widgets.yahoo.com/gallery/view.php?widget=38228

Yeah, I remember that from Konfabulator. Strange…

Is this on a MacBook Pro or what?

This is Target disk mode on ANY Intel Mac.

Also, YES it was a Konfab widget, buts its origination was from System 10.0 – That was Apples official battery meter. It vanished in 10.1

Someone was lazy and didn’t think it necessary to remove the battery icon from desktops. Tsk tsk. Inconsistency I would not have expected from Apple.

Yes, yes, I remember it well from the 10.0 days.. I mourned it’s loss with the advent of 10.1, but I soon got over it :P (Same way I got over the loss of the floppy drive in the original iMac.. sometimes change is a good thing ;))

I sorta liked it in my dock instead of on the bar. but you can resurrect it from 10.0 and i think it still works.
