Did anyone else get the felling this was written about 10+ years ago? Mainly the constant reference to floppy disks and calling the enter key the return key.

Oh I have a program that connects to all computers that are on the direct network and opens up telnet and starts playing starwars.

Nice thing is, they CAN'T close it unless I want them to.

I also have another that opens and has like 101001010101010100110 lines of random letters and numbers that scroll down command prompt like crazy.


"Point at the screen. Chant in a made up language while making elaborate hand gestures for a minute or two. Press return or press the mouse, then leap back and yell "COVEEEEERRRRRR!" peek up from under the table, walk back to the computer and say. "Oh, good. It worked this time," and calmly start to type again."

Do that with a laptop on a train, you will REALLY scare and piss off a lot of people.

When I was in high school about 10 years ago, I was in a c++ class and it was not very exciting. The year before the old computer teacher taught an after school novell netware cert class inwhich we learned about the broadcast program(The one that would open a dialog box from netware to someone on the network and you didnt need any privlages to use it, just have the program) so I did that. Of course my dumbass couldnt help but to show others what I could do and of course the program spread. Didnt get in trouble but the teacher was new that year and also had the job of managing the network, and didnt know anything about novell or how to stop it, so he kind of pretended that it didnt exist although it annoyed him.
