Anyone remember this easter egg in QuarkXPress, when deleting a text box with the shortcut Cmd+Alt+Shift+K? (Keep watching the video until you see the big giant green mama monster come out… Patience!)

We still have to use Quark at my work, so one day I tasked one of my staff to train a new staff member on Easter Eggs in Quark. :) We had a good laugh :)

I remember that. Too bad it didn’t include the funny sound effects.

I opened up quark just to see if this still works… and yes it does. My co-workers were like WTF.

HAHA, Oh man I so remember this. How random was that to put it into such a “professional” piece of software?

Have you seen what happen if you delete like that, push undo, and delete again for 5 times? A huge monster come with a basuka and kill the monster!!!

You can get the same alien by creating a picture box and pressing ( Option+Shift+cmd+K).
You can also see another alien if you keep the keys Option+Shift+Cmd+K pressed down for few seconds.
The same alien will move and stand in the center of the box and a new alien will appear.
(more details at http://forums.quark.com/p/20054/80567.aspx#80567)
You can also see the alien in action in this video for the launch of QuarkXPress 9 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYT0iqq9nNg
Long live the alien! ;)

I remember that from almost 20 years ago. Thank god I haven’t used that POS Quark since 2004. Worst customer service ever.
Anyone remember SciTex, those workstations(fans) were so loud I can still hear the hummm.
