Okay all you Win95 fanatics, this post is in response to the August
29th AlphaNewsWire article ...

... "Another controversy with the size and efficiency of Microsoft's
newest upgrade to Windows 95 is highlighted by this next bit of
'horse sense'. As it has been confirmed by hundreds of
'cyber-jockies' around the globe, a curious hidden addition to the new
Windows upgrade has been discovered. A 3 meg 24 bit color image of a
horse appears when certain keys are depressed upon the 'Starting
Windows 95' screen. What is even more fascinating are the various
rumors flying about concerning the reason of this last-minute addition
to the very popular computer operating system. Anonymous sources at
Microsoft have offered that the animal is no other than Bill Gate's
prized steed, 'Nugget'. 'Bill is very proud about his horse and the
luck she's brought him. He's a bit superstitious about these things,

Okay, first of all, DON'T press these keys at the "Starting Windows
95..." screen. Try it when the mouse pointer first appears when
windows is just starting (the desktop should be black). You have to
be quick, and you have to hit the keys IN ORDER:
CTRL+F6+RSHIFT+DEL+RMOUSE
And YES Nugget will appear in all his glory. And by the way, DO NOT
try to delete the files that contain the image. (just a little
friendly advice) :)
That's all I'm going to add about this matter. Good Luck!
