Apple Easter Egg

Posted by Zonk on from the arrr-pirates dept.

AnamanFan writes "Many years ago an easter egg was uncovered on the MacOS System 7.1 CD included with the Quadra 660av and 840av machines. A 91mb MOV file shows the Cyclone/Tempest team celebrating with a nice pirate flag in the background. Don't have your old System 7.1 CD from your Quadra? It's now available online, or if you'd like to you're welcome to use the Torrent."

      It's better than listening to more Terry Schiavo drivel.

    If this Easter Egg was discovered so many years ago, then how come the news is only appearing on Slashdot now?

    This is reminiscent of the way that print-format "IT" magazines (the ones designed to keep business technology administrators "in the know" on hot, current technologies and technology issues) only discuss emerging technologies months after they've been released, and only discuss worms, viruses, and other flaws months after they've already been fixed and are no longer an issue.

    Except that Slashdot is not print format, so there is no excuse for a lag of several months, and Slashdot is supposed to be "in the know" on things the same day they happen... No excuse here, guys!!! Unless MSNBC just bought Slashdot, or something retarded like that. If this thing was discovered years ago, then it should have been discussed here years ago. Just my $0.02

    dude this is easy...you need to cancel all those goatse.cx-esque downloads you've got going on. seriously, i've been a PC user from day 1 and only bought my first mac about 6 monthes ago, but these ridiculous anecdotal claims you make are absurd and clearly you are trolling.
