I keep seeing mention of these goodies, but all I can get is the mountains
pictures when I hold down the option key and select About the Finder.  I
doesn't seem to ever scroll and I can't the smiley face.  Does this have
something to do with the fact that I chose a machine specific system
(Mac IIfx only software) while installing?

I agree with the sentiment expressed in many posts that while not the least
bit necessary, these little Easter eggs keep the Mac fun.
