Fun with Windows 3.1


As with most PC programs, Windows 3.1 has a special sequence
of keystrokes that reveal the product's authors.  In this case,
you also get an animation as well.  Here are the steps:

1.      Hold down Ctrl and Shift for the duration of this process.

2.      With Program Manager active, do a HELP, ABOUT.

3.      Double-click on one of the panes in the window in the upper left
        Click OK.

4.      Do another HELP, ABOUT in Program Manager.
        Double-click the same window pane.
        * A flag will fly
        Click OK.

5.      Do a third HELP, ABOUT in Program Manager
        Double-click the same window pane.

This time you will see a cartoon character pointing to
a scrolling list of the Windows 3.1 development team.
Do it a few times using different panes, and eventually you'll
see all 4 cartoon characters.

(The characters are: Bill Gates, Micrsoft CEO (Guy w/glasses),
Steve Ballmer, Microsoft Exec VP (Bald Guy), Brad Silverberg, Vice
President - Microsoft Personal Systems/DOS & Windows (Bearded Guy)
and T-bear (Teddy Bear), Windows 3.1 team mascot).
