My 'episode' was in '93. I'd just learned about TSR's and execution vectors and really wanted to try to write a floppy disk boot sector virus. Coded it up in turbo pascal. Thought I was being ultra careful: promptly spread it everywhere.

My school was much more laid back, thankfully.

What safeguards did you build in to it?

I wrote, in big red letters on the disk, "Don't insert into computers with hard disks or with other floppies."

I can't imagine how this could have failed...
