I was a teenage hacker!
Imagine the scene, mid 90s with a science teacher who looked like 'claude greengrass' from 'Heartbeat' with the beard (which I believe later shaved off because of the resemblance).

This guy thought he was the business, science and all that stuff. So much so that he was the first teacher to have a PC on his desk so he could record his science stuff on it (even though it was never on)

Greengrass leaves the room for whatever reason and I get convinced by my colleges that I should do something to teachers computer to wipe the smug grin off his 'I have a computer on my desk' face.

He was also called spaceman for some reason (probably because he always wore his white science coat).

This particular computer was running windows 95/98, so was easy to 'break' the batch process of the 'autoexec.bat' and drop the user to DOS.

Using my expert knowledge of computers I decided to leave a message for the next time the smug git turns his computer on.

So I altered his 'autoexec.bat' to show when booted up next:

"Spaceman you are a bald headed git"

"Press any key to continue"

The class finished before I could reap the fruits of my labour, but a friend from the class afterwards told me that he went mental saying he was going to get the police involved!

Needless to say it was the perfect crime :D

It breaks
my heart every fucking time I hear the theme tune - God only knows what would happen to me should I accidently sit through an episode one day.
