That’s a good story. In middle school I got similarly called to the principal’s office and threatened, but literally all I did was send messages (and nothing particularly menacing or inappropriate) to other computers using the Novell client software that was installed on every PC at school. You had a lot more fun!

Had a classmate get suspended for this same exact thing. He sent a message to EVERYONE on the network, but I don't remember what it was.

They promptly removed the Novell software from the start menu, but left the app installed. Some friends and I knew how to find it still and could still message each other during class.

Whatever happened to Novell? It was everywhere at the time, and then never seen again.

It was extremely popular but I think people started to realize how useless it was after Windows Server 2012.
