I've been looking for these joke programs from the '80s and can't find them on the web.
1) Monster.... makes a scary monster slide briefly up the screen whenever you press "M" more fun than it sounds, as most normal people only look at the screen from out of the corner of their eye when they type.
and
2) Disk washer... does a full wash cycle & cleans all the bits off your HDD then spins it dry, makes all the appropriate noises on an MFM drive (actually doesn't remove anything, but it had my workmate wetting himself as he hadn't backed anything up in months) also note, it wasn't recommended to just pull the plug on an old pc because of head crashes.
