At our last computer meeting someone pointed out a clever little
backdoor in amigados so everybodys name could get in the code
(and take up memory forever :-)
when you have workbench up and memory use displayed --
hold down both shift and both alt keys, and with whatever fingers
you have left (or prehaps your nose :-) hold down the fuctions keys
and get ten different set of authors displayed)
heres another memory waster,
load preference click on the mouse buttons uses to label
the key click speed and sensitivity (yes they are really gadgets
(click all 4 left to right 4 times in a row)
then go to the printer page and scroll to the end of the printers
after the last one, you will get another useless message
-- just in case anyone cares I thought I would pass this on.

>when you have workbench up and memory use displayed -- >hold down both shift and both alt keys, and with whatever fingers >you have left (or prehaps your nose :-) hold down the fuctions keys > and get ten different set of authors displayed) Hey, it doesn't work for me. I thought someone was putting me on, but I haven't seen any smiley faces. I've held down both SHIFT keys and both ALT keys (that's 4 keys so far), and then hit F1 through F10 one after the other. That didn't do anything so I did the same thing only I held down all function keys at once by holding them down with a book that I was holding in my mouth. Any keys I forgot to press? Anyone else not get the desired result? Marnix

You must loadwb, have the title bar visbile, and must have the "available memory" banner in the title for the shift/shift/alt/alt/fkey trick to work. ..Bob -- Bob Page, U of Lowell CS Dept. page@ulowell.{uucp,edu,csnet}

I have no time to quote, so I'll summarize:
Someone was asking how to get Workbench to display the names of some of the
programmers who worked on the OS.
Go into workbench and, using the shift key, select both disk icons. *Then*
you hold down both shift keys and both alt keys. With those held down, you
can then press the F-keys. While you are holding all of these keys down, the
workbench screen title will change to reveal a message (one for each f-key)
which will disappear as soon as any keys are let up.
Does anyone know how to do the Preferences 'secret message'? Something about
the mouse buttons, a hidden gadget on the window border to the left of the
time display, selecting "change printer," and scrolling through the printer
listing... Anyone know?

While you are holding all of these keys down, the ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^-- There's always an idiot like me who takes this to mean that *ALL* the F-keys must be pressed at once. That's why it didn't work for me. You have to press them ONE AT A TIME.
