HP ScanJet 5P Easter Egg, Ode to Joy
Seeing the printer link on the "popular links" page reminded me of this rather excellent Easter Egg hidden on all HP ScanJet 5P machines.

I'll be too busy puking the bushel of creme eggs I eat every easter morning

It says so on the Youtube description:
-Turn off the scanner
-Rotate the SCSI ID selector to select ID 0
-Press and hold the green button
-Turn on the scanner
5. When the light comes on, you can release the button
After this the scanner will release it's inner creativity and play you the Ode to Joy on its stepper motor
