Yes that's what's so great here.  But the rest of the country looks pretty good too from the pics on this site.  Maybe my wandering areen't over after all.

Eastereggs, anyone heard about them? It's programms that are hidden inside any other application.

For example, in an older version of Microsoft Word there was a pinball hidden. You could activate it by doing something like typing the word blue on a blank page, then select the word en turn the color into blue. Then you had to click on help and select "about"and click on the Word-icon and TADA, there was a pinball-machine.

The other day I read that there's a hidden flight-simulator in the newest version of Google Earth that might be concidered an easteregg.

After starting the apllication press CTRL-ALT-A and you can fly around the world as if you were in a plane. It's a simple one but it does work.

 

Anyone else know some nice eastereggs?

Interesting Cor, but this is the first I've ever heard of them; but then I am computer illiterate. I only know how to turn it on and type on it! LOL!

Well, Diana, there's nothing wrong with that. Just imagine you would have to know all there is to know about cars before you can drive them.

Maybe you want to google on "easteregg" and you would find 7.650.000 hits.

You could read your way through on a rainy sunday afternoon Laughing

I know there are EasterEggs on my LOTR Dvds, I did get into the once but they were crude, and not something I care to watch.

I think the Harry Potter Dvds have them too, and probably allot of movies.
