^^-- I never did anything really malicious... .. well, we did change the DOS copyrights and some commands (DEL to CUT, DIR to SEE, COPY to DUPE, etc) to our names once... I was the curious type who just wanted to do more than the computers would normally allow.

So I just found ways of working around it...

in fact, in my keyboarding class, I was one of two people sent to the regional skills fare for the typing competition. Me and the other guy in my class were the only 2 males out of 42 competitors, and we took 1st and 2nd. He had 91words per minute, I had 89 words per minute.

We used to finish the year's keyboarding assignments and bonuses in the 1st month of class and spend the rest of the time playing EA golf on the computers.

I was also sent to the Ontario skills competition for Graphic design... I won out partly because i was the only one to use a computer to make the poster, and had a lot of the college teams coming by to check it out... which was cool, but I got my ass kicked by the judges too for the poster being too busy -- first time I was told that 'because you can do it' doesn't mean 'you should do it'... I was 16 being reamed out by a professional graphic designer.. it sucked.

anyhoo.. great memories... wish I was a kid again..
