I installed this on a pc at work when it came out to see what it could do.

I must have forgot to shut it off because there was a gang of security people in my office the next morning.

It's interesting that your place of work was loose enough about security to let you install stuff off of the internet as it came out, yet paranoid and skillful enough to actually notice and get you in trouble the next day!
I know what you mean. I recall that installing software from the internet was rather novel in the late 90s.
It seems you've been living ... two lives, Mr. Anderson.
