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?

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
