Stefan Robl, author of the cutie AmiDock tool shipped with AmigaOS 3.9, posted on his site that a nice Eastern egg can be found in it...

Posted by Anonymous Bunny on 22-Nov-2002 10:17 GMT | That's nothing. My USB driver has an Easter Egg too. You people don't get all bent out of shape when *other* developers include unnecessary code, but when a certain Amiga third party product developer does it noooooooo, it's a ""Trojan"" when they do it. When they do it it's sooo bad, but everyone does it and it's cute! I see a double standard here. |

Without wishing to drag the whole Elbox saga up again, that code
only trashed the RDB. Call me old fashioned, I don't even use them.
All the most important data is still there.
Can I hear the word "mountlist" ? ;)

Happy Easter :) |

Posted by Xeyes on 22-Nov-2002 17:53 GMT | Cool Egg! I'm surprised nobody had found it previously! Looking forward to seeing the new version of AmiDock in OS4. (This time maybe we'll find the easter eggs without you telling us :) |

Posted by cOrpse on 23-Nov-2002 00:36 GMT | In reply to Comment 10 (Anonymous): Whats stopping you ? I haven't heard of anyone getting their RDB trashed without trying ( e.g. running demo's of the codes existence / poking the drivers around ) ... If you have beef with elbox ( e.g. Got your RDB trashed ) take it up with them , not on a completly unrelated thread. |

anonymous doesn't even own or ever planned to own a mediator.
I'm perfectly happy with my system. No trashed RDB in the past two
years. |

Posted by Peter Gordon on 23-Nov-2002 16:03 GMT | In reply to Comment 12 (Rob): I think Mr. Anonymous was referring to the fact that if you use mountlists instead of an RDB, you can't boot from the disk. So he wasn't trolling, he was replying, and he seems to be better informed than you do... |
