Pranks

Nope

Many, many years ago I owed a good friend of mine a prank. (I can't remember what he did but he got me good). Anyway this was back in the days before good internet and downloading a game patch was a big deal. We still copied them to floppy disks because it was quicker.

Well we were both playing this good game, and I told him a patch had come out for it (again, this is way back in the day before auto updates and high speed). I "offer" to copy it to a floppy and give it to him.

Long story short, my "patch" was a DOS script that behaved exactly like an old hard drive failure. Unable to read drive C: (A)bort, (R)etry, (I)gnore.

I give him the patch and wait for my phone to ring. All his college homework was on that PC. I told him to hit control-C and end the script. He slammed down the phone and didn't talk to me for days.
