While back, someone posted a note about a windows 3 "Easter Egg". Basically, you hold down F3, type WIN3, release F3, hit backspace, and hit enter. I've tried it, (and several other combinations, involving F1, etc.), and NOTHING HAPPENS! Has anyone made it work? What is the magic incantation? Thanks! -- Dave.

Well, you really can't call it an "Easter Egg" (unless you mean something else
than a nice suprise the bunny left you)... it's simply a list of the people at
MicroS*t who have contributed to Windows3.
When you do the above keystroke sequence this list replaces your wallpaper,
thus you have to have (at least some) wallpaper visible (= program manager not
in full screen mode etc.)

Hmm... for me, the moment you hit the backspace key, a list of developers shows up. No need to press return.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Iskandar Taib | The only thing worse than Peach ala Internet: NTAIB@AQUA.UCS.INDIANA.EDU | Frog is Frog ala Peach Bitnet: NTAIB@IUBACS !
