Cool!  I love hardware easter eggs.  There's a few I know of in the Mac
and in Apple ]['s, including the //c and the //gs.

Here's the Apple //c one:

Apple //c (Original)

Entering the following program from BASIC will produce the names of three
people on the Apple //c programming team:

                             10 IN#5
                             20 INPUT A$
                             30 PRINT A$

This is an excerpt from a file I put out years ago:

Please excuse the lame rhetoric...I was way uptight back then.
