I always do:
PR#3
IN#2
Ctrl-AT
(no return between the ^A and the T).

I thought the ROM 3 one was "Apple II!" Anyways, you do a
Control-Option-OpenApple-Shift-N at the sliding apple screen (a nasty
system death or the Check Startup thing will work). The Shift might
not be necessary...

On the Mac SE, you can go to the mini debugger thingy (press the
interrupt switch) and type some command (it started with "G 4" I
think) and it'll show digitized pictures of the development team.
Also, on the Mac IIsi, if you set the date to the day the IIsi was
released, set the time to something and did something or other with
the modifier keys and the "s" and "i" keys, something would happen. I
forgot what though. I've never gotten my hands on a si, so I don't
know if this works, but I know the SE trick works. It's more fun than
leaving the "You may now turn your Macintosh off safely" message on
the school's SEs :-)
