Doc in the Machine: An e-play in five acts.

I will now show you how to waste countless hours in an activity that both kills time and makes you question your sanity. All you need is a Mac, Terminal, and the following hack. It goes without saying that as with everything, alcohol makes this better too.

Step one: Open Terminal.

Step two: When it has started up, type in “emacs” (without quotation marks) and press enter.

Step three: Press x and escape together.

Step four: Type in “doctor” (again without quotation marks.)

Step five: You can then begin a conversation with your own personal psychotherapist on your computer. Just write something, and hit the return key twice.

And there you have it: hours of disturbing fun!
