Not!
A highly sophisticated hack — Not!
by Darin Adler and Nevin Liber
extensive help from Greg Marriott, Jim Reekes, Philip Nguyen and Jeff Miller — Not!
idea suggested by Waldemar Horwat
The idea is to notice modal dialogs that contain some negative message.
If they also contain a button with the word OK, it is changed to Not,
and a sound is played when the button is hit ("Not!"). Also, the negatives
are all changed to positives.
Highlights

all programming done in under 2 hours
3 patches
