Haha, I did the same thing (with net send, which I'd forgotten all about till you said it) when our school got its first network - around 98 or so. I rigged up a QBasic program to use net send to create a school wide chatroom of sorts (I think I used it to sync a filename on a network share rather than send the actual chat though). Never got caught but they managed to disable the functionality and that was that. It's ridiculous how mad they all got about it though.

It was kinda functioning when I got there, but I took the app home and hacked it up considerably to be more stable, more colors for text, etc. Ended up leaving the updated source on the machines one day before I left the school for high school. Quite fun days, indeed.
- petercooper 11y agoNope, I'm in the UK. I think a lot of schools all jumped on the bandwagon and had a couple of miscreants who knew some QBasic though! :-)
