Barry-
That's an OS 2.0 egg. So, it won't work on a n OMP, 100 or 110, nor a 120
with a 1.3 ROM. It only works on the 120/2.0 and 130. I used to get great
kicks out of showing people this egg. ;-)
And then there's the "Rosetta! Rosetta! Rosetta!" egg, also in 2.0, but also
in 2.1 and _even_ in the Inkwell engine in OS X!
