    :) It's fun, isn't it?

    I remember in the past doing some sort of OUI-JA table that depended on the way of pressing a combination of keys until the 'spiritual message' was finished. :)

    I could have improved it with some 'extra' text added through a modem. Nowadays, with sound & graphics, the effect that I was looking for would have been much stronger than in those times with only a CLI.

    I like how the computer precision combines with superstition, don't you?

    I made your Tk 8-ball version a win32 executable to send it to some friends!
