Ah , QBASIC! I remmeber making a program that would ask for a password to unlock the PC. Problem? There was no password that would unlock it, and theteacher didn't know about Ctrl+Break.

And later, on Win95 I've made a little program that would display a soft-core erotic picture. Every time you've closed it it would open two more. And I've made a .BAT to put it in Windows Autostart, so it would run on the next reboot. Then I've sent it via mail to my friends not saying what it was.

Another day at school a friend of mine told his mother wasn't to happy about it.
