@bitnacht Good point, re: the busy bee.

As for the spinning disc (or "beachball"), it got its start in NEXTSTEP as a greyscale spinning magneto-optical disc rendering indicating the system is busy / data is loading, which was seen quite often on the early NeXT Cube, as it came with no HD but only an MO drive, and it used that drive for _swap_, if you can imagine...

That spinning disc became color when NEXTSTEP gained a color display on later hardware, and from there it evolved into the spinning "beachball" we know today (macOS being structurally based upon and evolved from NEXTSTEP/OPENSTEP).

EDIT: Oh, I think I misread - you are talking about the busy mouse pointer icon in Windows, I think. I'm not sure of its specific history. Apologies.

Request to folks sharing #screenshots!

It's great that so many folks on Mastodon are using #AltText for #accessibility. But if the screenshot is from a public web page, please also *post the link* to it! I often have to look this up to see the context of what is being shared, which is important.

I use Mastodon's web interface (in Firefox) exclusively so it's easy for me to copy and paste URLs; I'm aware this might be more difficult if you're using an app. Do try anyway, please and thank you.
