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?

Forum Format

Have you considered using something like vBulletin for the forum. While the new format is very visually attractive, it seems to require an infinite amount of clicking around to see what new threads are going and what has been added to old ones. I'm not a huge poster, but I have been an avid lurker. Give it some thought, please!

Vote: alt or option?, originally uploaded by merlinmann.

An eagle-eyed reader took me to task for calling this the "option" key. The reader found this vexing and thinks it should always be called the more agnostic "alt" key.

Got an opinion?

Joomla Anyone?

Let's face it. I don't know jack ship when it comes to Joomla. I have it installed and that's about it. It seems pretty straight forward, but I am looking to change the world.

Anyone out there know of a good place to really learn Joomla? I am willing to buy videos or tutorials.

I would like to create a site with:

Lot's -o- video Discussion board Membership Access Whiteboards Classified Ads

also knick knacks, patty whacks and what nots.

Can you help me change the world? Or point me to someone who can!?

Thanks 43 Folders Community Boards!!

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. »
