Easter eggs

An "easter egg" is a hidden feature in a program which has been added in by the coders to serve absolutely no purpose other than to provide amusement. Such a feature has been included in all versions of mIRC that are currently available. To reveal the easter egg, in mIRC: Click Help -> About... and type in 'arnie' (without quotes). *cute* :D
