Default Easter egg?

I saw a facebook post from someone who works at Avid talking about some kind of Easter egg in 12.8 - or maybe it's not out yet I don't know - she was very cryptic about it, and then the comment was deleted when I went looking for it - it wasn't up for very long. Something about writing some code word into the comments field on a track and then showing the panner, but I can't get it to work in 12.8. I tried a bunch of random words but I think its just might be because I don't have surround. Anyway I'm a first time poster just wanted to see if anyone has seen this or knows how to make it work. - lemmma

I don't know either I just tried every word related to PT I could think of, I also tried them all backwards because that was how an easter egg worked in a game I played long ago. -lemmma

What is a Sandra Report? I searched for it and found lots of mentions of it, but no real explanation of what it is. Thx.

It was a joke. Windows users need to provide a complete report of their system generated by this software in order to get help here, Sandra stands for "System*ANalyser,*Diagnostic and*Reporting*Assistant"

It is a combination keystroke to evoke the pass code input box, then carefully enter your secret pass code. If you misspell your pass code, all your iLok licenses are moved into your trash can. If you misspell your pass code a second time, your iLok licenses are permanently deleted and your system drive receives a Level 42 low-level format (zeros and ones are overwritten seven times).
