YouTube Fun

[cmhbob]

It's an Easter Egg, if you're familiar with the term.

1. Open any YouTube video.
2. Pause it. After pausing, click a blank area on the side of the webpage. (put your arrow on a blank area outside of the video box. )
3. Type 1980. This is tricky: Don't type it in the URL bar or the YouTube search bar. Just type into your keyboard. The letters won't actually show up onscreen.
4. Enjoy. It seems to work worst in FireFox (and may not work at all) and easiest in Chrome.

Got this from a friend at GlobalAffairs.org, and can verify that it works in Chrome under Vector Linux.

What does typing 1980 do? Lock up my computer?

Enlighten us on the easter egg.

It will not lock up your computer. It's just a little 1980s fun.
