RM walks the line

Suburban Inmate

Takes me back... 

Alien

To my first college days of putting marker over the RM box's power lights, setting a secure screensaver, firing up Teleport Pro, and unleashing it on a "gentleman's URL" with the brain-bursting 2Mb college connection.

Then secreting all 7GB in a folder and cunningly rendering it inaccessible to windows explorer with the old Alt+219 trick from a command prompt. As well as acting innocent when the admin wonders where all the space on the user server has gone. When I returned with my laptop, I could get past the RM user space restrictions with the help dialog: "Open... Explorer.exe" if need be.

Ah, great days :) Of course, we also did serious stuff like L0phtcrack. Alien, because non-virtual females were at the time.
