Is this a real Easter Egg ?

On MacKido, I saw a not very specific Easter Egg related to the mountain image used in the early Apple systems. The website doesn't mention the exact steps, and I couldn't find any other references. Does anyone know if this is a real Easter Egg or just a joke?

"In Finder 1.1g (the first publicly released version of the Finder from 1984) the "About this Macintosh" dialog had the now infamous moutainous backdrop -- and if you held down a key combination while selecting "About this Mac...", the cursor would turn into a little skier and you could ski him (or her) up and down the mountains!"

I have tried withMini vMac without success.
