Just draw the circle again, it's the same way to make the egg disappear as it is to make it appear

Where do we draw a circle to get Mr. Wifi to bounce by? THAT is a surprise I'd wait for.

Yeah that would be nice!

How small of a circle do I draw? How slow? I feel like a dork drawing tiny circles for the last 10 minutes.

**rogerkang** · 03/01/2005, 10:47 PM

try drawing a clockwise circle REALLY slowly.... circle should be about 1/2 cm in diameter.

It should take about 4 seconds (give or take) to draw the circle (that slowly)

If you want to see what it looks like, I somehow got a picture of it in my Treo 650 review.

4 seconds? I draw the circle in a second or less and it works every time.

well, I guess some treo's are faster than others...

**creighton** · 03/01/2005, 11:25 PM

Finally, something I can feel good about. No way I'm returning it now.

It turns out the secret was to have my wife do it. I told her about it, she tried it on hers, and it worked right away. SO I handed her mine, and again, it worked right away.

Who'd have thought that rib would turn out to be the most talented part of a man's body?

**bdh18** · 03/02/2005, 09:20 PM

now do I leave the egg there or tap it off??

**millerhifi** · 03/02/2005, 09:32 PM

Leave it there.

**z3bum** · 03/02/2005, 09:54 PM

I have the egg. It's an ancient easter egg, been around through many Palms. I haven't seen the taxi yet...

**g.711** · 03/02/2005, 11:10 PM

I Finally saw the Taxi!!! 13 months with to Treo600 and I waited eyes glued to the screen but the taxi passed me by, Two weeks with the Treo650 and BAM it just ran accross my screen.

I have absolutely no idea why I saved this url, but someone at one time compiled a compendium of Palm easter eggs at http://www.zansstuff.com/palmegg.html

Haven't tried them on the 600 or 650 but at least a few worked on my Treo90, 300, and Visor Prism.

**hsk** · 03/03/2005, 02:01 AM

I don't have a Power option under Prefs on my Treo 600. Am I missing something? I'm assuming we're talking about the Prefs in the Applications screen?

**millerhifi** · 03/03/2005, 02:06 AM

On the 600 go to the "general" screen in prefs to activate the easter egg.

Will the taxi go by on any screen?? Or will it be a particular screen??
