Delphi 1 Easter Eggs

  1. Invoke the About box with Help | About..., then hold down Alt whilst typing DEVELOPERS. This gives two pages listing the R&D staff members

  2. Invoke the About box with Help | About..., then hold down Alt whilst typing TEAM. This gives a multi-page list of Borland employees closely involved with Delphi 1. (This key sequence was Alt+STAFF in Release Candidate 1 of Delphi 1)

  3. Invoke the About box with Help | About..., then hold down Alt whilst typing VERSION. This gives the internal revision number for the product.

  4. Invoke the About box with Help | About..., then hold down Alt whilst typing AND. This one only shows up if you have a 256 colour or greater screen driver. This is because the bitmap is a 256-colour bitmap, and hence will look ugly in a 16-colour screen mode.

    The picture is of Anders Hejlsberg, the chief architect of all Borland's Pascal related products, including Delphi. The photo was apparently taken at his stag party. The idea behind this is that Anders And (his name plus the keystrokes required) in Danish means Donald Duck - and of course he's pictured in water.

    When you see this picture in the product, it winks at you.
