I would love to know if this actually existed or still exists. Anyone remember something like this? There are a few comments around the net by people who claim to have found this "undocumented feature".

Edit: one person said something about Windows 3.1 and the Program Manager help window, then he said he opened up Windows 3.1 and couldn't make it work. Maybe it was 3.11 for Workgroups or NT 3.51?

I've heard about it, but never seen it myself.

Mediocre drawings, women accessing the deep web, unnecessary potty mouth...hardly legit.

I did see that - it's what led me to the discussion where there was a guy who claimed to have been a part of it.

This is so intriguing to me.
