> I am reminded of stories of kids opening a command prompt and being accussed of "hacking", only this is a far more extreme case.

Happened to me when I was a kid. Opened a DOS prompt. Was labelled a dangerous mind.

Oh my, I don't even want to think of the horrors I unleashed upon the various Apple ][, DOS, and Mac Classic systems in my public school. Nothing like malware--just really lucky I never bricked anything. On the other hand, I did learn some valuable lessons such as that LinuxPPC in the mid/late 90s was not appreciated as Mac OS 8 by my peers.
