Apple Easter Eggs
Mac OS 8.5

Mac OS 8.5

  1. Holding down Command-Option-Control and selecting "About the Mac OS 8.5 Team..." from the Apple menu.

The screen is cleared and replaced with a black background (or a black to dark blue blend if you have thousands or millions of colors). On top of this background oversized, pixelated icons along with credits of those who worked on the OS will fade in and out.

This Egg is identical to the 8.5b (Allegro) Egg in behavior -- the only differences seem to be the text and the icons. The icons seem to be whatever it can find in the System Folder. This is a list of the text -- but I'm not sure if I got all the names (let me know if you find a set not on the list):
