It was part of the Macintosh system since System 7. The idea was to choose Show Balloons from the Guide menu or Help menu. Context-sensitive balloons then would appear wherever you point, with text in 9-point Geneva font. As of System 7.5, a newer kind of on-screen assistance, Apple Guide, came into play.

Context-sensitive balloons then would appear wherever you point, with text in 9-point Geneva font. Apple provides balloons for most of the Mac OS; this includes the Mac OS itself, the desk accessories, control panels, and oft-used applications such as the Finder, SimpleText, and so on and so forth. Microsoft and Claris also provide Balloon Help. However, balloons must be written using an application called BalloonWriter, which is extremely buggy, and balloons must be written for each state: active, checked, dimmed, and checked and dimmed. The excess work is what discourages some software companies from incorporating Balloon Help into their applications. As of System 7.5, a newer kind of on-screen assistance, Apple Guide, came into play.
