Mac Users: Surprise!


Here's something you didn't know you had! If you own a Mac, give this a try.

Open a new Terminal.app window (/Applications/Utilities)
or just launch terminal using spotlight.

When the terminal window appears, type "emacs," then hit enter.

After the screen loads, press "escape," then "x."

Type "tetris" (lower-case) and hit enter. That's right, you guessed it.
A fully playable game of Tetris. Use the arrow keys to control the blocks.

As my buddy Mike said when he showed me this tip, "I love these computers."
I just keep finding more fun useless stuff that makes me smile.

Like the "Bad News" voice in the speech controls (Hint: Show more voices)
