Heh, hilarious stuff.

Speaking of computer pranks, back in junior high, I was so incredibly bored 
in this "applied technology" class one day that I wrote a small panic DOS in 
QBASIC and added it to autoexec.bat.

I thought that was worth being banned from the computers in that class for 
the rest of the semester ;) Well, at least until exams when the teacher 
*had* to let me back on them for, uhh, whatever it was we had to do as our 
final (don't recall). Heh, he was pissed.

I was surprised when he told me their IT people "had to" format and 
reinstall the system. I had thought the big QBASIC window coming up upon 
boot would have been an obvious clue to just Ctrl-Break and then remove 
qbasic from autoexec.bat. I was thinking, "But...don't IT people know how to 
use computers?"
