Success!!! After much trial and error, I finally figured it out. This is how to get Flip to do Handsprings on your Visor:

1. Go to the Launcher screen. (ie. Home)
2. Hold down the upscroll key.
3. Tap the time tab in the top left corner.
4. Enjoy the show!

Roba wouldn't tell me exactly how to do it, but the result was demo'd on Roba's site. Thanks Roba, and thanks Taki for pointing me to his URL.

Hi Eug,

Cool!!! Thanks! I don't have QuickTime on my computer & couldn't open the demo.

P.S. Your Japanese is pretty good

Nifty! Of course, this leads to other playing. I found that if you hold the address book button down and click the upper left, it beams your business card. Maybe it's just a bug...

Nope Mtn - that's been part of the PalmOS for a long time - actually, all you need to do to beam your business card is just hold down the address book button for more than 2seconds and it will automatically beam your business card.(no need to tap anywhere)

Hi James and all,

I just wanted to say that Roba should get a credit for finding this Easter Egg, too. His home page is called "Roba-Mimi(Donkey's Ear)," It is in Japanese & won't display correctly unless you have Japanese font installed. He writes about his daily thougts & events on Visor.

Taki

P.S. Oops! I assumed Roba was a woman from the homepage but Roba is a man! My apologies

By the way, if you press the downscroll key during the show, you get the date. (What exactly the date represents, I'm not 100% sure...)

I also get the 31-AUG-1999. Maybe it's the ROM date?

I think it's the date that Handspring created the Visor or this ersion of the PalmOS

I don't get the date either. Does that mean my PalmOS doesn't exist, or has yet to be created :-)

I ordered mine at the end of September and got it in October. Maybe I have too early of a version to have the date?
