OT: Easter Egg in the Macintosh IIci

Not exactly OSX, but I thought some people here might enjoy this:

I found this Macintosh IIci at work. I read the wikipedia page on it, and it mentioned something about an Easter Egg:

"If the system date is set to September 20th, 1989 (the machine's release date) and the Command - Option - C - I buttons held during boot time, an image of the development team will be displayed."

I looked for images of this picture on the web, but couldn't find it. So, here it is!

Can anyone tell me who's who?

Also, a different site mentioned that the picture is in colour if you switch your color settings to 8 bits. In my case, however, the settings keep switching back to 16 bits at the next reboot. Anyone any ideas on how to fix this?
