Yes it's true, and in fact there are four pictures.  I do not know all the
faces, but suspect that these may be more than just the SE development team(s).

To see these, press the programmer's interrupt switch (the one nearer the rear
of the machine) - you have installed the switch, haven't you?  When the debug
interpreter window opens and presents the > prompt, simply type G 41D89A and
the system will cycle endlessly through the four digitized group mug shots.

Much nicer than the signature on the back of the case (inside, it was), and
leads to the possibility of revising the "signature" with new ROM versions.

You want to stop it?  Either hit the interrupt again, and do your thing, or hit
the reset (that's the one nearer the front of the machine).  Sure is a whole
lot easier to keep those guys straight on my old Lisa :-)
