Life-insurance mainframes never had easter-eggs, did they? This is just a measure of how seriously people rely on software.

Wrong. :)

My dad worked for a rather large insurance company. One of the hacks printed the user's name, marched it around the border of the terminal (thin client to the mainframe) and then deleted itself before giving the user their prompt back.

I stand corrected. At least it wasn't the policyholder's name.

I’d love to see if Philips of Zoll integrated any Easter eggs into their AEDs or monitoring equipment.

Perhaps get an extra 50 joules of defib by putting in the Konami code on the directional keys.
