I know MSN has a 'nudge' feature that will shake everyone's screen...

What chat program and OS are you using?

a really cool trick would be to redirect the dns to a different site that uploaded old gospel hymns and made them play at full blast for 2 minutes and 24 seconds and then rebooted the computer. But I can't tell you how to do that because it's against forum policy. Sorry

A brilliant trick would be to wipe Windows, install Ubuntu, and insist on the user learning to use Bash for everything.

Some would say that's a kindness!

I knew of someone who would go to a particular "big box" retail establishment where the general help wears blue polo shirts, and the computer help wears shirts and ties, and reboot their PC's to the Puppy Linux he carried on his USB drive.

At same said establishment, I may have perhaps powered down at least a dozen PC's in an attempt to get some attention.  I'm not proud of such alleged behavior, but in theory, I was just looking for someone to say some variation of, "I'll be with you as soon as I can."  (Several managers had perhaps walked by, also -- too important to stop and help a lowly customer...if that indeed happened.)

In a chatroom??

Hmmm...let's see...
