The Commodore 128 had a very cleverly concealed message hidden in ROM.  You
would type "SYS 32800,123,45,6" from BASIC, and you would get a screen with
the names of the designers and the slogan "Link arms, don't make them".  It
wasn't quite as elegant as the way things are hidden these days, but it
was just about impossible to find, and the "QA" group at the time was under
orders to look for this kind of thing.
