Have any of you owners of the TOS 1.4 PROMs looked at the Desktop Info... box yet? I was going along merrily using my ST normally until last night I happened to hit that menu item by accident. I got quite a pleasant surprise. Those of you who miss the color startup screen of the early 520ST boot ROMs will like this one... Has anyone found any other "easter eggs" in TOS 1.4? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Whitney in limbo between Stanford and UCLA Of course, anything I post does not represent HP...
