charcoalgray99 enthusiast Registered: 14/05/2001 Posts: 279	Ok… it has nothing to do with info:transient. This is what confused me: Hold top button down. Unplug power. Plug power back in. Press a button to wake the player up. No easter egg. Unplug power. Plug power back in. It works. Tom

rob carpal tunnel Registered: 21/05/1999 Posts: 5335 Loc: Cambridge UK	Wow, I never knew that was in there! I just called Toby, and he said it isn't a hidden feature at all - it comes up in the InfoTex visual when you reach the end of a playlist. Apparently it's been in there for about a year. Amazing what you find out on the BBS! Rob

Ruffles member Registered: 29/03/2000 Posts: 106 Loc: Seattle, WA	I thought you might have to do something from a bash prompt or something to actually restart it. I tried unplugging it but didn't see the easter egg when I plugged it back in. I did find it when I reached the end of the play list. You have to love Red Bull :)

I've been to the Tram Depot with the empeg team, and it was suggested that I could arrange with the proprietor of Wrestlers to buy them pints remotely. ;) -Zandr Mk.I #0150 10GB RioCar #010101243 10GB (96GB here I come...) _________________________ -Zandr Mk.IIa #010101243 currently getting a 500GB SSD.

tms13 old hand Registered: 30/07/2001 Posts: 1115 Loc: Lochcarron and Edinburgh	I've not been to the Tram Depot for five years or more; after hearing of its enlargement and loss of character, I don't think I will again. PS. Just upgraded - it's great! JEmplode simply hangs trying to connect, though (perhaps it puts something in the 1px-high "Working" window...). -- Toby Speight - 040103385 _________________________ Toby Speight 030103016 (80GB Mk2a, blue) 030102806 (0GB Mk2a, blue)
