In Finder, choose Go->Go to Folder (command-shift-G) then type in:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Setup Assistant/Contents/Resources/TransitionSection.bundle/Contents/Resources/

The movie is split into two files, one for the movie and another for the audio. The movie file is stored in intro.mov and the audio is stored in intro-sound.mp3. You'll need to start them playing at the same time for them to be synchronized.

Minor mistype there...

Speaking of funny files and stuff, do you know where the games that you could access in emacs (via Terminal) are? Kinda bummed, forgot where they were and then they moved between OS X versions...

They're in /usr/share/emacs/21.2/lisp/play/
usr is an invisible folder, so you'll need to use Go to Folder (or Terminal) to get there.

For anyone wondering how to play these games, type in "emacs" (without quotes) in a Terminal window. When it has loaded, type escape-x. At the bottom, below the black line, you should be prompted with "M-x". Now type in the name of one of the games (doctor, tetris etc), and press return.

I never found out, what song did they use in Tiger? I know they've used Sofa Rockers and Eple in Jaguar and Panther respectively...

Anyone know the song in Tiger?

Bytecry, by Weevil.

It can be found on iTMS. The whole album is pretty alright.

You can just drag them into iMovie if you have iLife, then you can sync them up.
 
can you convert the iMovie HD file into a quicktime movie? ive synced then up, so its all ready to go....just need to convert them into a useable quicktime movie which i can just click on.

thanks
