just wanted to say I enjoyed the alert() at the end

It was an absolute free for all when windows machines started to be plugged into campus networks.

The prankster's evolution generally went from net send to NetBus and then to Back Orifice in those days as the tools rapidly made such tomfoolery a point-and-click affair. Interestingly many of the features in these early Windows prankster/hacking tools heavily shaped modern day remote administration / MDM software. I actually remember BO being used as a proper remote management tool in some situations.

I still have a copy of it on a floppy somewhere, renaming the exe to coolpicture.bmp [extra spaces] .exe and sending it to people.
