I was talking to a friend yesterday and he brought up the "Easter Eggs" in MS products... I've mildly heard about it before and was wondering if I could get a little bit of input and maybe even advice on how to access one or more of them... And also your explanation of what exactly they are...

Thanks for yer time!!!

Since I don't know what MS products you are talking about specifically, all I can do is tell you what Easter Eggs are. It's a surprise that you find within the particular product, that enhances it in some way. For example, there are several Easter Eggs in the Terminator 2 and Monty Pythons Holy Grail DVDs, that you can only find by moving your cursor around in the menus until you accidentally highlight one. Also, the Dungeon Keeper II game has Easter Eggs that you can only access during a full moon (yes, it's a dinosaur, but it's a good example).

Hope this helps.

Do a search for my article, "Easter eggs can make class more fun" on TechRepublic. There are screen shots of some Eggs. I also listed some Web sites for more information, etc. Happy hunting!

Whatis.com says an Easter Egg is an unexpected surprise, perhaps a message, an image, or a sound, hidden in a Web site or in an application program. You can find lots of examples of Easter Eggs at: http://www.eeggs.com/
