from the man page:
The output of rain is modeled after the VAX/VMS program of the same
name. To obtain the proper effect, either the terminal must be set
for 9600 baud or the -d option must be used to specify a delay, in
milliseconds, between each update. A reasonable delay is 120; the
default is 0.
it looks fine with the delay.
I like the games, although as long as they're easily available and things
like "fortune" and "primes" stick around (preferably in /usr/games,
because otherwise I'll just end up making my own /usr/games directory and
symlinking those files from /usr/bin or wherever, because they're in
/usr/games on every other system and I'm not really interested in having
FreeBSD be pointlessly different if I can help it).
