FULL STORY ======================================================================

If you happen to have a Silicon Graphics workstation laying around, powered
by the IRIX operating system, you can find a rather awesome little Easter
Egg.

Open up a terminal and launch the Audio Panel with the Spinal Tap option by running the following: audiopanel -spinaltap

This is the result:

Youll note the volume now goes to 11.

This wasnt the only Easter Egg to be found within IRIX. Whoever worked on
the Audio Panel, in particular, had a heck of a sense of humor.

For example, heres the man page for the Audio Panel. Note the Nutrition Facts.

Partially hydrogenated chupacabra oil. Love it.

Now. Ask yourself. Does the volume in your operating system to to 11? Do
