Easter Eggs
Helping

Brian Kendig inspired this list with his list, which was
the first easter egg compilation of any kind (that I know
of). James Wang, and Ngai
Chi-ho both started their Easter Egg documentation years
ago and created a good foundation. Daniel Fanton added to
that and took it a lot further, and compiled the most
comprehensive list out there. David Pogue collected the eggs
and put them into a book. I (David Every) have been
reworking Daniel's list, trying to find any other eggs that
I can find, putting it in an even more comprehensive web
form, adding the graphics (and what they all look like), and
trying to maintain the list and keep it up to date.
New Easter Eggs or Questions?
Of course this list couldn't be possible without reader
help (hint) -- so I welcome the assistance. I have spent
many hours of my own time searching for these easter eggs in
many computer systems. But I need your help to obtain more
easter eggs to add to this list. So, if you find one please
send me a letter. In fact, I challenge you to find any
easter egg that I don't already have. If you have any more
easter eggs then read the instructions below and if you send
me an easter egg that I do not already have, I will add your
name and email address to this list of contributors (unless
otherwise specified).
Sending Me Easter Eggs!
- Before you send the egg, check and double-check that
it is not in this file.
- Send the Version numbers (for both your system and
the application with the egg)
- Explain how to access the egg from the start-up of
your computer with step-by-step instructions. I can
delete any excess information later -- but if I can't
duplicate it, I can't add the egg.
- Explain what kind of Mac you have and your full name
(and if you want your email to appear).
- A screen shot (Command-Shift-3) of the easter egg
would also be great (if possible).
- Make sure you are not sending me an undocumented
trick. If it enhances the productivity of the software,
it is not an easter egg.
- Finally, you need to check your mail a day or two
after you send the egg just in case I have any further
questions. I will always reply to messages.
- Send the egg (a message or questions) to eggs@MacKiDo.com.
Thanks in advance...
I am changing the format a
bit, and trying to add screen captures for all the eggs
-- if you have the equipement or OS mentioned for an egg
that I don't have a capture (image) of that one yet, send
me an email or screen snapshot -- I'd love to document it
for posterity (and give you credit). Some may be hard to
get, and we'll have to see about other ways to get the
image (snapshot out). Just contact me...
