;;; Commentary:

;; Don't zone out in front of Emacs!  Try M-x zone.
;; If it eventually irritates you, try M-x zone-leave-me-alone.

;; Bored by the zone pyrotechnics?  Write your own!  Add it to
;; `zone-programs'.  See `zone-call' for higher-ordered zoning.

;; WARNING: Not appropriate for Emacs sessions over modems or
;;          computers as slow as mine.
