I asked Randall Jesup about that in late June.  He thought long and
hard about his answer before responding something like "Well, you won't
find anybody's digitized pictures in there."  He indicated that they
had to go on a space hunt to get everything to fit into 512k and that
the emphasis had been on getting the code correct.  I got the impression
that it wouldn't be worth it to look for such things until C= ships
ROMs.  However, if space is available there could very well be an
"Easter egg" or two in the final version.  I was very careful not to
ask where to look (that would be cheating), only if it might be worth
one's while.
