Hi there - thanks!
While the list is absolutely fantastic ( both the origional and the comment supplement ), i’m in school just now and the line for ‘pinball’ isn’t working. Is there an alternative, or is it something to do with the school? I know that if it was to do with permissions the computer tells me it’s restricted with a pop-up.
Any suggestions? Others from the list are working…

@Thatjazzguy, if the ‘pinball’ game doesn’t run from command prompt, there are several things to think about.
1. Is pinball installed on the system?
2. Are you in the directory where pinball is installed?
3. Is there an error message when you type the command?
It’s quite possible that it has something to do with the permissions at the school. A popup may not appear for everything, a permission could be set to simply not run a command and also not display the message/popup.
