I showed my classmates winpopup for a boring computer class, but then later we had a test, and they were using it to cheat.
So I broadcast a message (with spoofed username) pretending to be there IT director, telling them to cut it out. It always helps to have an extra secret :p
These stories are all too familiar, probably to many here of a certain age.
I actually got expelled from my school (in Scotland) for installing the 'MacinTalk' network chat software on our Business Studies AppleTalk network with about ten Mac Classics. The time I only got suspended was for using Prestel via the Computer department's (only) modem, after shoulder-surfing the password for the school account when a teacher demonstrated 'the future of computers' to us. The look of uncomprehending fear on the teacher's face as they ran into the computer lab after being told I was using the modem was priceless. I eventually had to go to an entirely different school to study for my Higher Computing, because none of the teachers at my school were competent enough to teach it.
When I was been 'taught' VB (shudder) the lecturer had 'Teach Yourself VB in 24 hours' on his desk, I used to go in before hand to make sure he was up to speed on what he'd be teaching.
Lovely guy and a good teacher just dumped into teaching something he wasn't remotely qualified to teach.
It was an interesting situation though since it taught me the value of been an autodidact early.
