lol actually, many many years ago when I ran a public bbs and linked the 
ol dos desqview box with the linux gear to give em basic shell access so 
they could email and irc etc, i wrote up a few bash scripts for common 
windows weenie faults like dir instead of ls, first they got a smart ass 
comment with a few seconds sleep delay then they got told how to ls , and 
the best one was the c: had a bash script that said thank you for 
calling, disconnecting you in 10 seconds, control-c to remain online, then 
would echo 10 9 8 7 etc  haha
