Anali masewera atsopano olembedwa ndi Steve Capps. Pulogalamuyi inkatchedwa Alice, ndipo Daniels nthawi yomweyo anaiyendetsa pa imodzi mwa makompyuta a Lisa omwe analipo. Chophimbacho chinayamba kuda, ndipo patadutsa masekondi angapo chessboard yokhala ndi mbali zitatu yokhala ndi zidutswa zoyera zoyera idawonekera. Chimodzi mwa ziwerengerozo mwadzidzidzi chinayamba kugwedezeka mumlengalenga, kutsata ma arcs pang'onopang'ono ndikukulirakulira pamene ikuyandikira. M'kanthawi kochepa, zidutswa zonse za chessboard zidalumikizidwa pang'onopang'ono ndikudikirira kuti wosewerayo ayambe masewerawo.

Masewera onse, malinga ndi zomwe Andy Hertzfeld amakumbukira, anali othamanga, othamanga, osangalatsa komanso atsopano. Ku Apple, adagwirizana mwachangu pakufunika kopeza "Alice" pa Mac posachedwa. Gululo lidavomera kutumiza imodzi mwama Mac kwa Steve Capps pambuyo pa Daniels. Herztfeld anaperekeza Daniels kubwerera kunyumba komwe gulu la Lisa linakhazikitsidwa, komwe anakumana ndi Capps payekha. Womalizayo adamutsimikizira kuti sizitenga nthawi kuti asinthe "Alice" ku Mac.
Patatha masiku awiri, Capps adafika ndi diskette yomwe inali ndi mtundu wa Mac wamasewerawo.

Capps adakhala membala wofunikira pagulu la Mac nthawi yomweyo. Ndi thandizo lake, gulu ntchito anakwanitsa kumaliza Toolbox ndi Finder zida, koma sanaiwale za masewera Alice, amene analemeretsa ndi ntchito zatsopano. Mmodzi mwa iwo, mwachitsanzo, anali menyu obisika otchedwa Cheshire Cat ("Cat Grlíba"), omwe amalola ogwiritsa ntchito kusintha zina.

Chivundikiro chake chinabisa ngakhale logo ya gulu lokonda kwambiri la punk la Cappe, Dead Kennedys. Kuphatikiza pamasewerawa, ogwiritsa ntchito adapezanso pulogalamu yatsopano yopanga mafonti kapena maze.
