There are a few easter eggs on the Visor, but I was wondering if anyone's found any others that aren't on the Palm.
For those of you who don't know about the easter eggs (or what an easter egg is), read on. An easter egg is something that has been hidden and undocumented in a program somewhere. Usually it's a picture or credits or an animation. In the case of big programs, like Excel97, the easter egg is much bigger. In Excel, you can start up this flight simulator in which you fly over a 3D landscape. But nothing quite so elaborate in the Visor, as far as I know.

Here are the Visor (and Palm Pilot) easter eggs that I know of:

Taxi: Go to the System Preferences program, and select "General." Just above the Calculator silk screen icon, draw a little circle counterclockwise. An easter egg will appear. Now, go to some other application, like Mail or Datebook or Memo Pad. While holding down the page down button, place your stylus in the middle of the graffiti area and move it all the way to the left between the Home and Drop Down Menu silk screen icons. You should see a little taxi drive across your screen. To turn this feature off, go back to the General System Preferences and tap the easter egg.

Dancing Palm Tree: Start the Giraffe game. Tap the Help button, and then draw the "#" symbol in the grafitti area (tap the graffiti area, then draw a backwards "N" from left to right). A dancing palm tree will appear in the screen.

Picture of two people: Start Giraffe, and start a new game. Hold the tip of your stylus in the lower right corner of the main screen (not in the silk screened area), and hit the page up button. Anyone know who these people are?

DOS Hard Drive Error: This one will only be funny to PC users - start Giraffe, and start a new game. Hold the tip of your stylus down anywhere in the top of the screen, and press the Page Down button.

So there ya have it. If anyone knows of some others, let us know!
