Performa 6115CD

At about location 3A091 you will find, in MacsBug, a statement saying "Ol' McDonald had a Farm... It's also a bitch, then you die too!". I don't even want to know what that one is about.

Around location 642F1 in MacsBug you will find "Flush to Execute".

Around location D13E1 you will see a large list of common phrases, credits, and awkward humor. It is all broken down with numbers and symbols pertaining to a letter. I cleaned it up a bit. Here is what I made of it (the underlines are letters I did not know):

JIM GOCHEE AND BRUCE JONES ARE EXTREME.
JEFF COBB IS AN EXTREMEMLY HYPER PERSON.
ERIC TRAUT ALWAYS CODES DAY AND NIGHT.
JACK, HUCK, AND HIL ARE COOL MANAGERS.
BRIAN OPPING HAD A FAST IMAGINATION.
BRUCE, JOHNSON, AND EW IRNE ARE TAN MEN.
SEAN ARENT AND SCOTT BOYD TAUGHT US.
JIM OTTER WROTE THE MOST TOOLBOX CODE.
MARY AVIDIAN LEAD THE EMULATOR TEAM.
