We are now up to 205 pages!"

Great job gentleman!

I love the "xLights" in binary on Page 2.  Awesome!

Kevin... someone finally found the Easter Egg in the manual!!

I'm surprised nobody has found the Easter Egg in the app... just all the goose eggs so far.

[algerdes]

Sorry guys.  Didn't know we were supposed to report it.

I don't know about one in the code either.  I looked at Steve checkins to see if he snuck something in there.  There only thing close was when he created a key binding that made me laugh:  "F" for "Off"

[flyinverted]

Now that is funny when you present it that way.

"f" was already taken for FIRE
 and "o" was taken for On
"F" made sense to me at the time.

Your comment made me look at my keybindings file and wow.. I have some good ones in there!
I used 1-9 for all kinds of stuff I had long forgot about.

Well, at least this is the first time someone has actually mentioned it.  Time to think of new ones to hide.  We may need to make a game of it.  First person to comment wins free updates for a year!

Come one, you all can at least match LightShow Pro (LSP) - they offered free updates for two years when I bought in the July 2014 Fire Sale.  I have gotten all zero updates for free since then and I'm only out $300.

There were a few is us in that boat.

But actually that was such a blessing in disguise. Would not have had to look elsewhere and turn to xlights if there had been updates I guess. May have still been struggling along..

Money well lost ..

Completely agree.  I switched to Nutcracker/xL in Nov of 2014 (ver 3.12 or 3.16 if I remember correct).
