I don't get it.
Did you Google askew? I don't think it works on a Commodore 64.

You crack me up. Anyway, for what ever reason I don't get the Easter egg on my box but I saw a picture of it.

Let me guess, you use an older version of Internet Explorer

I didn't see any Easter Egg, but then my view might be a bit slanted...

Right: Apple's Safari, Google Chrome and Mozilla's Firefox all tend to implement features before Microsoft's Internet Explorer. MS has been having to play catch up because after the became such a overwhelming monopoly in browser market over a decade ago, they pretty much shut down all new development for over five years because they had become the defacto standard. By which time they started working on it again, they were dramatically behind in standard features of other browsers and speed. There latest version was getting close to the completion when it came out but the other still had areas they did more and since most of the others release on shorter timeframes than IE it is getting behind again. One feature of how web standards are written is if the feature (in this case slanting all elements on the page) is not something the browser can do or it requires a special syntax just for it, it falls back on the default

My monochrome monitor (green) limits it a bit.

Snowman,
The story of MS' life, playing catchup to Apple. I was a pc man from 1982 till 2006 and I moved over to "the dark side" and I will never go back. Sorry your comment is now "out of context" but I couldn't resist.
