Easter Eggs!
1. Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.xx
Select "Help" from the main menu. You'll see
"About Internet Explorer," and a dialog box will pop
up. While holding the Ctrl and Shift keys, use your left mouse
button to select the IE logo and then drag it all the way to the
left. Next, while still holding the keys down, move the logo to
the right, going over the "Microsoft IE 4.0" black
text. A button will then be revealed that says
"Unlock." Click it.
If the IE logo is not already over the earth, it will merely
rumble, but if it is moved over the Earth or is already there, it
will open a new window, revealing a long list of credits about
the makers of IE 4.0, as well as a few inside jokes.
