Greetings Bill!

There are plenty of Easter Egg websites out there, but here are two of them:

However, I don't really agree with your negative view of Easter eggs. Their
main reason for existing is to credit the many people who create the
software package, 'cause otherwise, they go unmentionned. They are not
glitches, they're the credits at the end of a film!

As long as they don't cause any problems, what's the harm? As for FM not
having any Easter Eggs, maybe you just haven't found them yet!

Don't judge the quality of a software package on the presence of a little
light-hearted eccentricity. If the software does what you need it to do
without burning down your house, then go with it.
