Well if the big man in red sees fit to slide a new Audi under the tree next year, I’d be happy to fool with the new CarPlay plenty ha ha.

OTOH SWMBO is rather smart and very likely to be suspicious of "accidents".

If you have a cat or dog...they're usually good candidates for "accidents"!;)

Neither one at the moment. Perhaps one of our neighbors neighbors has a toddler I could borrow.

I have heard of iMacs spontaneously jumping off tables and smashing the screen on the floor.

They used to also be good for turning certain Macs on at will.

The first Mac SWMBO and I owned was an LC II. That particular model, and a few others, had a switch on the keyboard that could turn the machine on with one keypress.

A local professor I knew at the time had the same model for his wife and kids to use. He told me that several times he had come home to find the computer on and the kids swearing that they hadn't left it on. The culprit was a tech savvy housecat that liked to walk across the keyboard.
