        Re: Pointless —Jeremy H. Sproat
     (...) Hmmm. I didn't request this easter egg when I downloaded Netscape. Looks like another pro-open-source argument. Beautiful humuhumunukunuku apua'a, though. Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 17-May-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

      Ya know, I would *love* to have this feature in a user-configurable fashion. Like, being able to assign a keystroke to load the home page, for example. Or CTRL-ALT-L to bring up LUGNET, and CTRL-ALT-B to bring up Brickshelf, etc. Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 17-May-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

      Just install Litestep, and the keyboard is your oyster! I've got the-Windows-key-and-...e-number-4 assigned to bring up www.lugnet.com. (All my letter combinations are used up for other things!) [www.litestep.net] Seth. (...) (25 years ago, 17-May-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

      (...) Hmmm. If you need to completely re-organize your desktop in order to fix one application, then the application is definitely broken. However, the Win32 GUI does this kind of thing too -- you can launch any shortcut (or just ones on in the (...) (25 years ago, 17-May-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
    
         Re: Pointless —Matthew Miller
     (...) Well, this kind of easter egg I don't mind -- it certainly doesn't take up much space. It's not a full flight simulator or anything. PS there has been a fishcam easteregg since way before version 4.0, despite what their page claims. Maybe the (...) (25 years ago, 17-May-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

     (...) How could these poor fish not have names? Forever going through life not knowing who they are... (note: almost all of my fish have names, vicious ones... like Fang and Killer and Schitzo) :) (25 years ago, 17-May-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
    
         Re: Pointless —Jeremy H. Sproat
     (...) If you want to *really* have fun, name at least 2 or 3 pets "Schitzo". :-, Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 17-May-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

     (...) Killer (...) our (...) I have names.....for my pet ants. I'm really frustrated because they are all suffering from a schizoid ailment due to the fact that I cannot distinguish 'Jeromiah' from 'Hansel' or 'Claudia' in the Lego ant-house. Does (...)

         Re: Pointless —Jeremy H. Sproat
     (...) Yah! Get a bunch of those convention "My name is ___" tags, scribble their names in the blanks, and staple the tags onto the individual ants. Superglue might work too. This is how I straightened out my school of candiru -- except since the (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
