(Thanks to Robert X. Cringely of InfoWorld for the following procedure!) While running MSWindows 3.0, press and hold F3 and type WIN3, then release F3 and press backspace. The background "wallpaper" will tun into a list of people involved in programming Windows, divided into groups such as the Magicians, the Testers, etc. It appears that the names are listed in login/e-mail form. Out of curiosity, could the billg listed under "Dads" be THE Bill Gates of Microsoft?

Just click on the background with the mouse and you're back to your normal wallpaper. -- "Organized fandom is composed of a bunch of nitpickers with a thing for trivial pursuit." -Harlan Ellison Patrick Deupree -> patrickd@chinet.chi.il.us
