A Windows hacker has found a never-before-seen Easter egg in the Windows 95 Internet Mail application, twenty-five years after the software was released.
This week, a new Easter egg in Windows 95's Internet Mail program has been discovered by Windows hacker and developer Albacore, opening a secret window that displays a scrolling list of the developer's names.
"It's never too late to find easter eggs. Happened to notice what looks like a never before seen easter egg in Windows 95's / IE4's Internet Mail. You have to open its About window, select one of the files, and type MORTIMER. Names of the program's developers will start scrolling," Albacore tweeted yesterday.
In addition to the Easter egg found in Internet Mail, Albacore also shared a video of a previously known Windows 95's Product Team Easter egg that lists all of the operating system's developers.
Windows NT 4.0 betas contain their own variant of the Windows 95 Product Team easter egg.
