  • lol, even scanners have easter eggs o_O

  • HP Scanjet 5100C (both paraller as well as SCSI versions) have this same eastern egg as well. :) in paraller port version, you only need to push green scan button while pluggin the power cord.

    but remember that if it's plugged to PC, windows will go totally nuts.

    thank you for video, it makes great deal easier to explain this to others. :)

see all
