We once did a collective book in class where everyone contributed something. My contribution was a simple DOS "virus" that would format the victims C drive.
The worst part was that since everyone's contribution was read out loud some poor kid had to read my bat script. Back then we didn't know how the @ sign is pronounced. We settled on alpha although I knew that was wrong.
