Sometimes programmers hide surprises, called "Easter Eggs",
in applications. You can display such Eggs only if
you know an unlikely combination of keystrokes. The
word is out there that there's a neat Easter Egg in the
Palm devices --- a graphic of a small taxi that chugs across
the screen, leaving a trail of exhaust clouds.
To find the
animated taxi, follow these instructions EXACTLY:
From the
main menu, tap on the Preferences application
and then tap the General tab. Just above the
silk-screen Calculator button, draw a small circle counterclockwise
until a small Easter Egg icon appears just above the Calculator
button. Exit Preferences and open any
application. While you hold down the Page Down scroll
button, draw a line from the middle of the Graffiti input
area between the Applications and menu silk-screen buttons
all the way to the left edge of the screen. You should
see a small taxi puffing across the screen. As long
as you don't close the Easter Egg icon, you can display
the taxi repeatedly.
Good luck
in flagging down your taxi!
