Are you sure you aren't confusing that Mac with an Amiga? None of the
Mac's I have seen cracked have much of interest in them, but the Amiga
1000 does (well, did...) have the names of the crew on the inside of the
cover. Ask someone with a 1000 to show you, it is quite true.
The Mac ROMs had (I don't know if they still do) a text string
stating "STOLEN FROM APPLE COMPUTER CORP" in them. I found this vaguely
amusing, as this was in all the Macs they sold. I always thought selling
a Mac was stealing (highway robbery), but buying one? ;-}
