Guess what this is

[EscapeGirl]

Is it Absolute Pinball for the PC...???

[Jones]

OK. This should be the last hint I will need to give: It's in a Microsoft application, which I'm sure you've used at least once in your life.

[EscapeGirl]

Sorry.... I'm so dense tonight. Funny thing is, I saw the link for Word 97, but I didn't even click on it. Until now. Here's what I found:

1. Open a new document
2. Type "Blue"
3. Select word
4. Go to Format -> Font
5. Choose Font Style Bold, Color Blue
6. Type " " (space) after word "Blue"
7. Go to Help -> About
8. Ctrl-Shift-Left click the Word icon/banner
9. Use Z for left flipper, M for right flipper, and ESC to exit
10. Discover what Microsoft means by "Productivity Application"

It's an "Easter egg" in Word 97.

[Jones]

Yes. WTG Escape! It's not fun but it's cool to have. Yes, haha, I have Word 97 on my bedroom computer!
It really does work.

[EscapeGirl]

Woohoo!! I'd never have gotten it without your hints. No way.

Anyway, here's the next item:

[Jones]

Florida calls. Gotta go. I'll guess an iron but I doubt I'm right. Bye.

[EscapeGirl]

Nope.

Goodnight Jones. Sweet dreams.

Jewelry cleaner?

[EscapeGirl]

Nope. Not a jewelry cleaner either...

[vlc5863]

Do you have a pic with a different angle? I'd like to see the sides.

[EscapeGirl]

Hmm...I just went through 11 pages on google looking for another angle, but no luck. You'd figure it out immediately, too. I can tell you that it used to be used a lot in Britain, and is apparently making a comeback. Note that it does have a clock on it... And see if you can see what's sticking out on the right hand side.

A coffee maker?

Is water put into it?

[EscapeGirl]

Not a coffee maker...getting warmer though. (LOL - no pun intended. )

Yes, you put water into a section of it.

[old biker]

a clock -timer/expresso-machine ?

[EscapeGirl]

No...not coffee, not espresso... What's common in Brittain?

The clock isn't a timer exactly...more like an alarm clock.
