speaking about easter eggs, it is a shame that many great easter eggs in the mac os have been removed since os 8. One such one which I loved was the "secret about the box" egg, a crazy egg that can be done in OS 7.6.... why did Apple have to be so... serious?

Apple has to be serious because those easter eggs were making the OS unstable.

Eggs w/credits were also resulting in 'brain drain' from Apple. Other companies Head Hunters knew who to target.

There IS a secret about box in Mac OS 8.5-8.6. Hold down Command-Option-Control and choose About this Computer... Mostly credits, but a few pictures.

There has been an easter egg there since System 7.0. That doesn't count.

My favorite was the game of Breakout hidden in System 7.5.

You can't do it. You need System 7.5; it was taken out in System 7.5.1.

I don't remember it being taken out in 7.5.5... anyways, to do the secret about box... open up stickies, type this in: "secret about box"... no quotes... hi-lite the text and drag it to the desktop and blam, it is there. Another thing in stickies, make a new fresh one... type in "Antler!" without quotes. hit return...

You need a special application to open the breakout game in System 7.5 (if you have 7.5.1-7.5.5), but it is possible. Anyone know where you can find this?
