 Today I found the original marathon files ( the demos that Bungie used at
that MacWorld expo ). Do any of you guys know about this? Does anybody
know if there are any programs that un-invisiblize floders? Thanks ahead
of time.

     Congrats. You've found the Easter egg on the Marathon 1 CD (For those
of you who don't know what I'm talking about, try poking around the CD for
a while with ResEdit and look for invisible folders). Now, normally you
could just select "Get File/Folder Info" in ResEdit and reset its
Invisible flag, but since it's on a CD that's obviously not an option.

     Solution: Copy the whole folder containing it (it's not very large)
onto your hard drive, and de-invisiblize it there. Voila. Be careful with
the little suckers... they're pretty buggy. Expect to crash and burn a few
times while you're exploring them.

     Have fun!
