Just got my III today (!).  Played with the Palette cmd
long enuf to get the stripes off the screen (13,48 does it),
then remembered to try the Hidden Secret (CTRL, ALT, Reset).
Sure 'nuff.

Yes, friendly & folksy -- better than inscribing signatures on
the inside of the Mac case.  Even better than video games'
listing their programmers' names and the lost-kid-of-the-month.

Question: What PMODE/HMODE is this, and how much ROM
got "wasted" (new or old definition)?
Looks like 2-color to me, good old PMODE4, so maybe
just 6K.  But that means these guys crammed all the new
BASIC Hi-res and ON ERROR goodies into 2K!!!!
... if so, they deserve to have their faces in lights!

ROM Burner?  Our Coco Club has been making digitized
pix of its members for a year, and burning lots of
customized ADOS etc. ROMs with owner's name in 'em --
so Jim O. won't be the only ugly mug to pop up in
PMODE4 in the future ;-)
Seriously, thanx to him for neat idea --
