To reach this egg, you can do a couple things.
Open Photoshop. While holding down the Alt key, click on the eye on the toolbar. The other way to get to this screen is by holding down the Alt key and going to Help -> About Photoshop. There you go, now you see the Big Electric Cat, the official mascot of Adobe Photoshop. After a few seconds, the credits will start to scroll.
That's not all there is to it. Hold down the Alt key to make the credits scroll faster. While holding down the key, click on the big eye once. Then, while still holding down the Alt key hold down the Control key. Now let go of the Alt key. Below the picture of the cat, above the scrolling credits, you will see about 60 messages.
If you can't get enough of the Big Electric Cat, hold down the Alt key before the startup screen loads next time you load Photoshop4. There it is!
Hold down the Alt key and click on the arrow in the layers palette. From the menu, pick Palette Options (you'll have to hold down your mouse button when clicking the arrow to get to the menu). It's Merlin! Click Begone! to get rid of the screen.
Try the following in MS Excel97 under Windows95:
Hit F5, and type X97:L97, and then hit Enter.
Now hit Tab and holding down the Control and Shift keys, click on the red/yellow/blue Bar Chart icon (

Yeppers, you're flying. You have just activated the flight simulator hidden in a spreadsheet program. Isn't it cool? Want a challenge? Try to find the gray panel on the ground that has the credits rolling.
Try the following in Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.x under Windows95:
Select Help from the menu bar and click on About Internet Explorer.
Hold down the Control key and drag the "e" logo onto the Earth icon.
Release the Control key, then hold it down again. Move the e over the Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 text. The text slides off to the right, revealing an unlock button. Still holding down the control key, move the e Logo back over the world, and release it.
Press the unlock button. You'll get about 10 minutes worth of credits. It's a little boring at that point, especially without any music, but unlocking this egg was really fun, wasn't it?
