Easter Eggs -

Easter eggs are special little tidbits or surprises programmers put into their programs. It
usually involves doing some strange things in a program to see a little surprise. For example, if you use MS Excel 97, there's a flight sim built into it that allows you to "fly" to the program credits. Here's How:

1. On a new Worksheet, Press F5
2. Type X97:L97 and hit enter
3. Press the tab key
4. Hold Ctrl-Shift and click on the Chart Wizard toolbar button
6. Use mouse to fly around - Right button forward/ Left button reverse
7. Hit Escape to exit the sim.

Excel 2000 has one of these too (different procedure though). Eeggs.com has lots more.
