Why is your terminal black?

Mine is white.

Go to the Terminal preferences to select one of many themes.

on emacs, press ESC, then X. Then type in tetris/snake to play tetris or snake. It also saves your score!

pico is just a link to nano

[birandkoray]

I think vi is the most special editor.

Search for "terminal malloc_jumpstart emacs" with Google for some solutions. I'd put links here but YouTube doesn't allow them.
