Sometimes programmers hide surprises, called "Easter
Eggs", in applications. You can display such
Eggs only if you know an unlikely combination of
keystrokes. The word is out there that there's
a neat Easter Egg in the Palm devices --- a graphic
of a small taxi that chugs across the screen, leaving
a trail of exhaust clouds.
To
find the animated taxi, follow these instructions
EXACTLY:
From
the main menu, tap on the Preferences
application and then tap the General
tab. Just above the silk-screen Calculator button,
draw a small circle counterclockwise until a small
Easter Egg icon appears just above the Calculator
button. Exit Preferences and
open any application. While you hold down
the Page Down scroll button, draw a line from the
middle of the Graffiti input area between the Applications
and menu silk-screen buttons all the way to the
left edge of the screen. You should see a
small taxi puffing across the screen. As long
as you don't close the Easter Egg icon, you can
display the taxi repeatedly.
Good
luck in flagging down your taxi!
