Or something a little prettier from pkgsrc :) Have a script of #!/bin/sh -e while true ; doe xcowsay --cow-size small --at 0,2000 -t999999999 "DO A | DO B | DO C | ..." done Actually... using xcowsay could almost be a reasonable answer with something like xcowsay --image /usr/X11R7/include/X11/pixmaps/ctwm/ball5.xpm --think --at 0,2000 -t999999999 "DO A | DO B | DO C | ..." :-p David
