I love this! Reminds me of the campus network at Harvard. Around 1994-95 we had multiple zones, but only spotty understanding of networks by most users. I had a blast one day mocking up what looked like a Mac on-screen error message which said “Sorry, this Document could not be printed,” which I then printed on randomly-chosen printers across the University. Good times!

It was a few years later, but we had some fun when we realized you could communicate with Laserjet printers and change what they said on the display.
you would go to prison for that now
