    Today when i sat down at my computer a little animated cow appeared on my time line, this is no joke! It had little sayings or quotes that appeared in thought bubbles next to it.
    I know this sounds strange and i can assure you that i was not not drinking or taking hallucinogens at the time!

    I don’t know where it came from, never installed anything new and I also did an immediate search for any other programs that could be running and found nothing unusual.

    I right clicked the little cow and it went away never to return at least today that is. I guess it found greener pastures somewhere else. I just hope it not some destructive worm that devours your hard drive while you sleep.

    Does anyone know of a small flash movie or somthing that is set to run when FCP is runnig?

    His name is BRUCE..and he is a YAK. He is what is called an “easter egg,” hidden code in the software. He appears when you have FCP running, but not having done anything in a while.

    “He is what is called an “easter egg,” hidden code in the software.”

    …Maybe one day the programmers of Final Cut Pro will take it upon themselves to hide some code in the software that actually works.
