I remember back in high school we had this computer lab that was all locked down. Didn't allow opening the CD-ROM drives, only allowed certain educational websites, etc. I put a little remote access app on my share drive as a way to open my own CD drive, mostly just to see if I could do it. The school's computer guy came and found me and was like "hey, a file pinged as malware, what's up with that" and we had a fun discussion about it and I deleted it and we moved on with our lives. I didn't think about it again. Years later, I looked back with horror at how badly that could have gone for me.

- jfk13 5y agoAh, you young whippersnappers with your labs and networks and CDs... my high school just got one Commodore PET, that was "the school computer" in my day. Fortunately, I got on well with the math teacher who had charge of it, and he'd let me take it home over the weekends. Those were the days...
