Mac OS X Easter Egg - Emacs psychoanalysis

1. Open A Terminal
2. type "emacs"; click enter
3. Press ESC + X at the same time
4. You should see "M-x" appear
5. Type "psychoanalyze-pinhead" after the "M-x"
6. To stop press Ctrl-G

M-x yow gives you a random Zippy quote. M-x doctor is the old Eliza "AI" program. (These two are in the docs.) M-x psychoanalyze-pinhead feeds the Zippy quotes as input into doctor, and it is an absolute riot. After starting it, press Ctrl-G to stop it chatting and then read the transcript.

have fun

This egg is at best an egg in GNU emacs, although, I would consider it a feature. It is in no way part of OS X. OS X simply happens to include emacs.
