You've never had co-workers pay stupid and annoying pranks on you? I left for home one day, to find out shortly afterwards, that someone had loosened every single nut and bolt on my bike. I'd sooner not make things easier for people to make a pest of themselves. Then there's stupidity (booting from some install disc that installs crap onto a system or wipes out existing systems), and plain maliciousness. I spent over a dozen years working in schools, and the lengths that some would go to be a pain was quite astounding. It was a shame they couldn't put as much effort into other things. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
