With CS2, I found the martian, but not the fractlals or bouncing balls.

Har har, Anne-Marie. I’ll have you know that I keep my antennae hidden when I’m in public.

Checking for “bounce” and “svg” was the first thing I did when I got CS3…heh. Nope, they’re gone.

I think Adobe should put a goatee on the Martian so it’d look more like David.

Can’t see those peter, nor any About option in the Help menu that allows searches. If I type “bounce” or “svg” in the separate Help program for InDesign nothing happens.

Also in InDesign 2, if you typed Mandelbrot, fractals showed up.

There used to be two more in version 2, haven’t checked if they are still there, but anyway:

If you go to the about box (”Help > About” on Windows, “InDesign > About” on Mac I believe) and then type “bounce” (without the quotes), you get some colored circles bouncing around. Similarly, if you type “svg” (again without the quotes), you get some type saying “svg” going crazy. But I doubt they kept the SVG one, given that Flash is now part of the Creative Suite…

Wow! That’s really an unexpected place for an alien…
