While a disk is being removed or inserted, press both Alt keys and both Shift keys, then press one of the function keys and you'll see this message instead:
The Amiga, Born a Champion
Do something similar to the above, but this time while the disk is being read:
We made Amiga, they fucked it up
This message is a response to the supposed lackluster marketing for the Amiga at the time. It's unknown who inserted the last message, but Commodore recalled several thousand machines once the message was discovered and reported a major loss because of this.
