How about both at once?

Make Gnus display a game of Life while waiting for the nntp server, or
movemail, or whatever.  Just watching the numbers go by gets kind of
dull after a while.

Of course, XEmacs should have little (or big) Gnu glyphs moving
around.  We regular standard FSF GNU Emacs users would just have to
suffer with the "@" patterns that the life package uses now....
