[BITList] Microsoft bugs

[HUGH]

John,

I hesitate to argue with a man in Australia, but what I read of Easter Eggs 
does not correspond with these "bugs".  Easter Eggs are jokey bits inserted 
by programmers for their own amusement.  In the old Sinclair Spectrum (36k 
!!) days there was a game called Valhalla, played from a small cassette - no 
matter where in the game, entering "Mary" caused a small lady with a red 
face to come on and cause a row.  The various "cheats" available in some 
computer games were there originally so that programmers could move around 
the game easily for debugging without actually playing it.  In our video of 
Monty Python and the Holy Grail there is a scene near the end in front of a 
building, just before the final battle (broken up by the police on the 
grounds the participants are carrying offensive weapons).  If the video is 
paused at the right bit the building has "GLASGOW" along the front for a 
fraction of a second.

Hugh.
