Just curious, as most of the apps I've written here at BM have a picture of a scooby in them somewhere

oh yes

The last app I wrote that was released had one of those dodgy Office Assistants (Peedy the Parrot). And if you pressed the right key combo - it said something VERY rude to you......

You guys have got too much time on your hands.
Never done it myself - however there are often undocumented features which help navigate the app if you know what you are doing. Makes for easier testing / debugging.

ooh yes, especially when I was made redundant once and was messed around in a really underhand way.

The only time I've done it - but it was worth it. A date-triggered masterpiece that erased itself afterwards.

netcletic,
when you have finished writing features go home and get drunk. Writing more software to keep things interesting is bordering on the perverse
