[edit] Easter Eggs

Secure card it is not
  • When viewing "Balance Inquiry" (the $ button), clicking on "0.00" will bring up a draggable credit card (registered to Lem Sportsinterviews). Clicking on the upper left corner of that card will reveal the backside of it, as well as the PIN. Inserting the card, then entering the PIN (5675) will unlock a secret section of Homsar Quotes Pack.
  • In the songs list, clicking on Skate Party, DVN, and TMBG led to their respective websites.

[edit] Fun Facts

[edit] Trivia

  • Typing in the wrong PIN results in the screen displaying "Wrong PIN#!! I bet you stole this card!" Notably, this will happen on the first wrong digit entered, rather than after the fourth digit is placed.
  • The reflection on the screen of the ATM is the same as the Corpy NT6 email menu.
  • The back of Lem's card reads:

This is a magnificent card.
Superfied Credit Union is
THE NAME in magnificence.
Of crads, at least. I mean cards.
PIN#: 5675

  • There was also another version of the downloads page, available at downloads.html. The ATM is smaller and surrounded by a white border, making it identical to the original version of the menu. Additionally, the Strong Bad clock link leads to the first set of Homestar desktop icons.
  • "Banners and link graphics" was originally listed under the Graphics Menu, linking to homestarrunner.com/banners/. This page was taken down when OSX icons were added in January 2004.

[edit] Remarks

[edit] Glitches

  • Since the post-Flash update, the credit card can no longer be dragged to the slot — clicking it just makes it disappear, and it cannot be brought back by clicking the "0.00". Thus, the only way to access the Homsar quotes is by viewing the Flash file directly, right-clicking and then entering the PIN.

[edit] Inside References

[edit] Real World References

  • The homester.html file name is a reference to Napster, a carryover from the Oldest Downloads Menu which directly referenced the service in its interface.
