IIRC there was an "easter egg" in 1.3 Newts that offered several
different startup pictures. I think you got them by putting one or more
spaces after your name in the "Owner Info" (or whatever the 1.3 version
of the same app was called). Each additional space gave a different
picture.
Here 'tis (blatantly stolen from Oliver's Newton Easter Egg Page
(http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Bay/4931/):
Change StartUp Screen
To do this put one, two, or possibly three spaces after the first line
of your address.
MP100:
1 space: Cat on a chair playing with a Newton
2 spaces: Crow Holding a Newton stylus in his talons, and the Newton
lightbulb logo.

MP110:
1 space: Cat on the chair
2 or more spaces: A Newt in a cage.

MP 120:
2 spaces: Cat on chair
3 spaces: Newt in the garden of eden. (Does not work on the French
version.)
