Following much investigation, disassembly etc, here is a summary of the
RISC OS 3 Credits which work on my machines:

RISC OS 3.00
============

When the RISC OS 3.00 title screen is displayed, quickly type the letters
'r-m-t-m-d', and if you get the timing right, photographs of the RISC OS 3
Development team will be displayed on screen.

Go to the RISC OS 3.00 Info Window (from the switcher icon). Click on the
letters 'r-m-t-m-d' from the words 'Acorn Computers Ltd' using the MENU
button, and a long list of credits will be flashed up.


RISC OS 3.10
============

The photograph facility appears to have been removed.

To access the info window credits, click on the letters 't-e-a-m' from
'Acorn Computers Ltd' using the MENU button, and a (different) long list
of credits will be displayed. (If you click in the wrong places, the
machine *may* crash).


Have fun!


Simon.

I went to the Watford Electronics Open Day a couple of days ago,
and was showing the RISC OS 3.10 feature to a friend when a certain
Acorn chap came up and said 'Oh, you know about that - there's
another hidden feature to display some photos, but I'm not going
to tell you how to get it!'. I proceeded to tell him that the
keys are 'r-m-t-m-d', and it doesn't work with 3.10, and he
promptly disappeared!

If I hadn't known this, I would have been rather annoyed by
his attitude.

At every public Acorn event which I have attended, there has always
been at least one Acorn sales/marketing person dressed in full Acorn (TM)
outfit (suit and tie), but wearing no form of identification. I could
understand this if they were not on duty, but when they are clearly
dressed to deal with the public, and indeed are doing so, I wish that
all such representatives would wear name badges.

(It might also increase their customer-friendliness. I have to say that (IMHO)
the attitudes of one or two salesmen are very poor).

Simon.
