ROTFL

Fether-Bait. Yeah, I remember that.

I have a bunch of papers from him here, still.

There was a very local Vic-20 user who used to call my BBS and hassle
me and other users about how his Commodore kicked everyones butt. Not
nearly as bad as John Fether. But close. I remember hooking up 110V to
the phone line, and this was before we had ESS. I had a DPDT switch
wired up so that I could, when this guy called, flip it fast.
Disconnect my modem and connect the voltage instead.

He did come back on the BBS's about a month later and say how his modem
suddenly died. I dind't know any better. I had read about it on one of
those text files.. :) My BBS phone line needed a little help after that
too. Called Pacific Bell after I got rid of the evidence.

You know, the Christmas Modermers.. and Christmas Computer getters...

you know when someone got a new computer you seemed to always be handed
a box of disks, "give me some stuff"... and this was no exception.
Pesty little twerp demanded everything.

I have a policy.. bug me, wait 24 hours. Bug me again, 24 hour gets
tacked on to the 'clock'.

dude bugged me about 10 times in the next half a day after the disks
were presented with the 'demand'.

When I finally complied, the average person would have already learned
BASIC and written about 20 things. The games he got.. ooooh boy.

Castle Wofenstien, he walked with a limp. the screaming was hacked up
so it sounded like it was saying "F***K!" .. some of the characters
were upside down.



... and then there was this mean and nasty art teacher at school.

Locked him out, did we.

Crazy glued the doors shut. oh that was to die for, the looks. But that
was not all. This guy used to get to school some 2 hours before class
sometimes. The parking lot was a whole campus and hillside away, out of
view and dark. 1983, too cheap to have lights on all night. When he
went to the classroom to get in, and couldn't they told me they had
come early to school to play candid camera and see his reactions. What
I found out later that was in addition to the locks and windows on the
classroom, while he was trying to get into the class someone else went
and locked up the car so that when he went back to the car, his key got
stuck in the car door. no keyfobs, no alarms. Old fashioned put the key
in and turn it.

A friend decided he needed a Monitor /// and there was a spare, sorta,
in the computer lab at school.   He offered to empty the trash one day.
The Monitor /// was in the trashbag along with the trash.

Now the funny thing here was the relationship we all had with the lady
that ran the lab at the time.

She marched into our 1st period class the next morning, it was sooo
funny. She walked right up to him and in front of the whole class, "You
stole that monitor, didn't you!" - the teacher was stunned, everyone
knew us who hung out in the computer lab at lunch.. She grabbed his ear
and hauled him out of class. The monitor came back within an hour.
Nothing really happened over it. But pretty much everyone knew. :)

Lastly, the Flaming Disk Drive. Pulverize a bunch of match heads and
make powder. Then mix in some water and make paste. Spread a fine layer
of match paste on a floppy disk and replace the innars with   a litte
bit of fine grit sand paper.

Label it Ultima IV and hid it in the computer lab. Where they had a
strict no games policy, people used to break the keyboards with Olympic
Decathlon.

It didn't burn down anything, but it sure stunk and someone got busted
for playing games because it attracted attention.
