What did that "Alice in Wonderland" button do? Is it just a way for the software to find out what kind of user it's dealing with?
Like you, I would have had difficulty resisting. Now I'm on tenterhooks...

Try It

Hi,
Does nothing much, except some sort of cuckoo clock noise and displays the message "Don't press this message again". Maybe someone could tell us more about it?
Cheers,
Bernard
