It can be done by ANYONE with an Amiga and 1.2... no special talents or abilities required (but having long fingers or a third hand will help). Most everyone is aware of the "secret little messages" found in some Amiga system software (such as the "RJ LOVES CARYN" found in the ASCII code buried in Preferences 1.0)... So, do this: Hold down BOTH [shift] keys and BOTH [alt] keys at the same time. Yes, hold down ALL FOUR KEYS TOGETHER. Now, if your fingers can reach them (or get a friend to help, or hold a pencil between your teeth), while holding down all four of those keys hit each Function Key, F1 through F10, one at a time. On your Workbench Screen menu bar you will see the names of all the Amiga development team!! Far out, eh? Make sure you're on the Workbench screen and that the menu bar is not obscured, and give it a try! Charles also mentioned something about the Preferences screen having some hidden goodies in it too, but he didn't have any details on that (yet).
