Can't resist sharing this one.

Imagine the day when one program start clobbering another?
It should never happen, right?

Well it happened yesterday to one of my users who had ATRA open in the background
(9 years old and still doing well, Audio Transcriber.rev)

She was surfing in Safari and a pop up window inserted an image into the player object on the ATRA interface that is normally never more than a controller bar for MP3's

This user is a super "naive" computer user (still trying to figure out how to send attachments by email.) But she really gets the work out when things are working...So I'm
pretty patient to solve any problem she may have..

Anyway, I just did not believe her... told her to reboot and open ATRA again...

Viola... there it was... from Planet Bizarre:

The Safari poked the player object in Rev with imagedata!
Javascript playing at interprocess? Any rect in vram he can find to inhabit?

Scary if you think what such gremlins
might do if it someone on the dark side
understood the underlying mechanisms.
