That other man being, in this case, freelance graphic designer Viktor Hertz, who spends some of his time making fun little art pieces out of Macintosh progress bars.
He calls this project his “work in progress bars,” and you can see his whole collection on his main page, as well as some of his other illustration work over on Behance. Continue below to see a few more tasty treats from Hertz, who calls it “a quick and silly little side-project of mine.”
You can also grab his designs on T-shirts, mugs, and the like over at Society 6.

I remember the days of using ResEdit and taking liberties with MacOS error messages. I certainly had a lot of fun playing jokes on one of friend’s systems.
Yep: Its a shame they took so many of the ways to customize your mac away. You gotta be a friggin programming wiz now a days.
