Amusements

In GNOME, go to MainMenu => Applets and look through the applets available in Amusements, Clocks, and Utility. Fish will open a dialog box displaying a quote that changes every time you click on the icon. gEyes will add two eyes to your panel that follow your cursor around the screen. Gnome Weather (which is under Utility)will dock a button on your panel that displays a miniature weather report.

The text editor Emacs has several hidden surprises, too. Open the application with Main Menu => Applications => Emacs. Press [Alt]-[x]; then type the word doctor to open the application's "psychiatrist." Also in Emacs, press [Esc]-[x] and then type "yow" to see a quote at the bottom of the screen. Press [Esc]-[ x] and type "psychoanalyze-pinhead" and Emacs displays all the quotes in its database (press [Ctrl]-[C] to stop).
