Your Mac is a Psychotherapist !

[Ric]

Did you know that built into your Mac (well into a piece of software called emacs !), is your very own free psychotherapist...

...honest !

Try this...


Open Terminal (Applications-->Utilities)

and type

emacs

then press return

This opens up a 'infamous' piece of software called Emacs...go figure !

Then press the 'esc' key

then type x

then type

doctor

and return

You should now see a screen like this....

You can now start talking to your 'Doctor', press return twice like it tells you to after you type in a question or statement...

Try starting with 'hello'

To exit just close the Terminal window...

regards

Ric

This is absolutely Hilarious! I'm cured! That would be great if there was an AppleScript or Shell command for this.

There you go Ric. Now you have me conducting a psychoanalysis on the psychoanalyst. I think that I got him to crack!

Mine was sort of mean... he called me a freak. We had a... friendly... conversation though... Though he thought my sex life was messed up. Geez...
