There is some good stuff here. I remember xantfarm, xfishtank, and xmelt / xflip very fondly. http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/historic-linux/ftp-archives/sunsite.unc.edu/Sep-29-1996/X11/toys/INDEX.short.html http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/historic-linux/ftp-archives/sunsi... My university in the 1990's used MIT's Project Athena setup with AFS for file sharing, Zephyr instant messaging, etc. There was a command named "attach" to mount a really long path like /afs/university/department/servers/students/servername/j/jsmith as /university/jsmith There was also a command named "add" that would source the .environment file within this dir. This was used to set your PATH variable etc so if you wanted to use specific commercial software the .environment would attach the dir and set some variables. People were explicitly told not to add a user dir as the .environment in that user's dir would get sourced. So of course I made a script that kept track of what machine I was logged into. If someone added my account the script would run xhost + opening their machine to remote X11 connections and send me a zephyr message saying "I just xhosted you" If they were in my actual computer lab I would run xmelt or flip their screen and they would freak out. Then I'd go over and laugh and remind them not to add my account.
